According to the British media talkSPORT, Newcastle considers two defenders in the team, Bertman and Liveramento, as not for sale. Liveramento has attracted the attention of league opponents such as Manchester City.
Ross Wilson took over as Newcastle's new sporting director earlier this month. According to talkSPORT, given that Newcastle is expected to have a quiet winter window in January, Wilson has made ensuring that key players Bertman and Liveramento stay in the long-term queue as the top priority on the to-do list.
Central defender Botman is one of the most important signings in the Eddie Howe era. His contract will expire in the summer of 2027. Livramento is contracted until 2028, but Newcastle know the England full-back is attracting interest from rival clubs including Manchester City.
