The staggering sum Chelsea are set to make from imminent £35m Newcastle United transfer

Newcastle and Southampton have reached an agreement for the 20-year-old right-back for £35million including add-ons after an extended period of negotiations.

Livramento is expected on Tyneside to complete a medical and formalise a move ahead of the new Premier League season. The England Under-21 international featured just twice for Southampton in their ill-fated 2022-23 Premier League campaign that saw The Saints relegated to the Championship.

The youngster suffered an ACL injury in April 2022 that ruled him out of competitive action for over a year. He is set to miss Southampton’s Championship opener against Sheffield Wednesday on Friday night due to his imminent move to Newcastle.

Southampton bought Livramento from Chelsea for a reported £4million which included a complex sell-on clause. The clause entitles Chelsea to around 40% of the profit Southampton make from selling the player though this percentage increases slightly the greater the profit.

With Southampton agreeing an initial £30million deal with Newcastle plus around £5million in add-ons, their initial profit stands at £26million. That means Chelsea will be entitled to a further fee of around £10.4million once the deal is complete, meaning The Blues will have banked in excess of £15million from the 2021 sale.

Southampton will earn around £20million plus add-ons from the deal.
