The Chronicle understands that Newcastle have no interest in selling the once-capped England international full-back this summer.

City view Livramento as a top target ahead of the FIFA World Club Cup and remain keen with three days left of business but a “not for sale” message has been flashed the way of the Citizens.

Newcastle have rejected initial approaches - coming from intermediaries - for the 22-year-old fans' favourite.
