Romeo Lavia may be signed by Liverpool, and the two parties have spoken directly.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, this is the case. The transfer expert claimed during an appearance on The Debrief podcast that Liverpool have begun to take their efforts to sign Lavia a little more seriously despite no imminent official bid.
“Southampton is seeking close to £50 million for Romeo Lavia. But from what I’ve heard, Liverpool recently made some direct contacts with both the club and the player to discuss the deal’s terms,” Romano said.
Before tackling any situation for a new midfielder, it is better to have internal discussions. It is not yet time to make a bid. However, they are knowledgeable about Lavia.
That sounds great!
Liverpool will compete against Lavia.
Romano claims that other teams are also interested in Lavia, in contrast to the Reds. Additionally, it appears that Chelsea and Arsenal will compete to sign him. The journalist did speculate that Liverpool might be in the lead, though.
They [Liverpool] are aware that Arsenal is also present, but Thomas Partey is what makes Arsenal successful. “They’re working on Partey’s potential exit, but it’s not going to be simple.
“Joe Shields, one of the directors who had Lavia at Southampton and, of course, at Manchester City, is the manager for Chelsea.
“Therefore, the connection is excellent. Chelsea, meanwhile, is preoccupied with Moises Caciedo. Romeo Lavia is undoubtedly one of the players on Liverpool’s list, which is why they believe they could be in a race with Arsenal.
Right away. It appears that this young man will be the next midfielder Liverpool signs this summer. The other player who seemed most likely to be added was Khephren Thuram. But according to reports this morning, the Reds’ pursuit of the Frenchman is now over.
There have also been claims that Ryan Gravenberch of Bayern Munich won’t be given any more attention. Lavia’s is the only name that is still firmly in the running as of this morning.
However, this may alter as other interest in the Belgian also grows. Liverpool may need to move quickly to gain an advantage over Arsenal and Chelsea, and it appears that’s exactly what they’re doing.
There is still a large window of opportunity for others to enter the scene. But for the time being, attention is on Lavia, the player who Jadon Sancho described as “special” (The Daily Mail).
