Liverpool seems to be serious about their pursuit of the Southampton midfielder, Romeo Lavia, who is expected to cost £50m.
After signing 2 midfielders in the summer, the Reds are looking to sign more as the news of Fabinho and Henderson possibly leaving has become concrete.
Many pundits have claimed that the Belgian star-kid would be the perfect heir to Fabinho. However, his inexperience on the big stage is a bit of a concern.
Recent reports have also shown that the Spaniard, Thiago is also being monitored by Saudi clubs.
Hence, solid recruitment is necessary for Klopp to have ample players, fighting for various prizes, next season.
Lavia interest stepped up by Liverpool?
Since the speculations of Liverpool’s experienced midfielders being liked to Saudi clubs, the Reds are looking at various replacements.
Romeo Lavia is one of the names and Liverpool seems to have stepped up their game to sign the Belgian.
Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth has provided an update on Liverpool’s stance towards the midfielder while talking to GiveMeSport.
“The information I have is that Liverpool and Chelsea are both seriously looking at Romeo Lavia from Southampton.“
Lavia is definitely a good shout for the Reds. This is because he’s both first-team ready and a rising star for the future.
He joined The Saints from Manchester City just last summer and established himself as one of their top players last term.
For such a young player to impress in the Premier League at a struggling club is a sign of a truly ‘incredible‘ talent.
Described by Jacek Kulig as being an “extremely gifted” talent, Lavia would be a good shout for a Liverpool side in transition.
However, he won’t come cheap with his reported price tag being £50 million. Moreover, Chelsea are also said to be interested in the 19-year-old’s services.
