Livramento joined Chelsea’s Under-9 and settled into the right-back position as he progressed through the ages.
He played a key part in Chelsea’s run to the FA Youth Cup final in the 2019/20 campaign as he started every game while also featuring on seven occasions for Andy Myers’s title-winning development squad.
The 18-year-old scored his first goal in a 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
His efforts were rewarded with a place on the bench for senior games against Manchester City and Arsenal towards the end of the campaign, while he was also named the Academy Player of the Year.
