Livolant, 27, made the move to Casa Pia back in 2024 and is under contract with the Portuguese club until June 2027. He has made 37 appearances in all competitions for them to date and has chipped in with eight goals and eight assists.
According to A Bola, he is on the radar of the Owls ahead of the January window. However, they face competition from the Potters.

Sheffield Wednesday could see Livolant as a target for the future once their embargoes are lifted. SWFC could miss the boat though if Stoke City swoop in first.
The Owls are in desperate need of a new takeover. Their squad lacks quality and depth and they are at serious risk of dropping back down into League One.

Livolant rose up through the academy at EA Guingamp and was a regular for them at various different youth levels before breaking into their first-team. He was also loaned out to Boulogne, LB Châteauroux and Sochaux in his early career to get some experience under his belt.
The France youth international was snapped up by Bordeaux in 2023 and spent a year there before switching to Casa Pia just over 12 months ago. His situation in Lisbon is now up in the air though amid reported attention from England.
