Romeo Lavia reportedly is keeping an eye on the status of a summer transfer deal that would bring him back to Manchester City.
According to writer Alex Crook, who spoke to GiveMeSport regarding the future of the £12 million player (Fabrizio Romano), City has a repurchase clause in place for £40 million, although it won’t go into effect until 2024.
But the provision still give Manchester City the right to first refusal, so they could still be able to complete the deal of Romeo Lavia.
Romeo Lavia is waiting to see whether a transfer to Manchester City is conceivable.
‘Big Six’ teams like Manchester United and Arsenal allegedly want to recruit the Belgian international in order to take advantage of the scenario.
Pep Guardiola called the 19-year-old ‘amazing,’ and despite Southampton finished in 20th place in the Premier League, he had an outstanding season.
Romeo Lavia continues to want a move to Manchester City as his preferred scenario this summer, according to Alex Crook.
“I’ve been informed he was eager to go in January. There has been a suggestion that he may wait and see what Manchester City does because they have the buy-back option. Regarding that, I’m unsure. He’ll likely make an effort to obtain it if he can get a Premier League club this summer, especially a large one.
The Sky Blues would benefit greatly from Romeo Lavia’s comeback.
First off, if Manchester City is successful in acquiring Romeo Lavia, it may make it harder for their local competitors to recruit him and bolster their rosters.
The adolescent is also among the most talented young defensive midfielders in the world, making him a great Rodri backup.
Not to imply that City should give up on Kalvin Phillips’ growth, but when comparing ceilings, it is pretty obvious that the former Sky Blues lynchpin’s is considerably higher.
But for the double victors, starting a return would be easier said than done.
