With a number of midfielders leaving the club since last season, Liverpool is looking for more reinforcements. While the names of various targets have surfaced and disappeared, they have been working on acquiring Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia, and two offers have been tabled and rejected.
Still, a defensive midfielder is a must for Liverpool, and this is a talent they want to acquire at all costs. He has Premier League experience, is only 19 years old, and is physically fit. He started yesterday’s championship opener on the bench, further fueling the transfer frenzy.
According to Sacha Tavolieri, he claims that the next few days will be a period of competition and that a third offer will be presented soon. In addition, the Belgian midfielder is expected to sign a five-year contract and is preparing for a medical.
“These will be crucial days for the transfer of Roméo Lavia to Liverpool. Personally, there has been an agreement for some time. Lavia waits for the green light to take his medical tests with the Reds. Liverpool will make a third and ultimate attempt to sign Lavia from Southampton.”
“They want to seduce the Saints with 40 million euros + bonuses for the young Belgian. Lavia has a 5-year contract at Anfield.”
