TINO LIVRAMENTO is preparing for a medical before joining Newcastle – with Southampton and Chelsea SHARING the £40million transfer fee.
Saints’ chief Russell Martin confirmed his star defender is making an instant Premier League return after agreeing terms with the Toon.
But Chelsea are reportedly due half of any sale figure after selling the Londoner to Southampton in August 2021.
The 20-year-old is expected to quickly complete a huge move to the Magpies, who want competition for main right-back Kieran Trippier.
Livramento only played twice last term following an ACL injury.
