Liverpool are said to be in talks with Southampton over the transfer of their Belgian star kid, Romeo Lavia, and are in the advanced stage, of discussing the final fee.
Liverpool are still active in the summer transfer window looking to bolster Klopp’s squad for the next season.
After signing two great midfielders in Mac Allister and Szoboszlai, fans thought that Klopp might now focus on the other departments.
But the shocking news of the departures of Henderson and Fabinho has seen Klopp look for more than 1 midfield signing.
Well, it surely was the plan to sign another midfielder even before the imminent departures, as per Fabrizio Romano.
Now, the 19-year-old Saints’ player is tipped to be the successor for the departing Fabinho. Many pundits have expressed mixed opinions on the player.
Liverpool closing in on Romeo Lavia
Liverpool are said to be in the advanced stages of talks with Southampton. The clubs are set to be discussing the fee for the Belgian.
This would be a huge signing for the Reds considering the fact that they would be losing 2 of their experienced midfielders in Fabinho and Hendo.
Moreover, there are reports about Thiago wanting to leave the club this summer and play in Spain. This might be the perfect signing for Klopp to fill in the void.
It was previously reported that the South Coast side set a price tag of £50m for their player. However, Liverpool were out off by the asking price and were exploring alternatives.
Crystal Palace’s Cheick Doucoure has emerged as a potential option but is also said to cost a huge fee.
Meanwhile, the Reds haven’t given up on signing Lavia this summer. Moreover, Fabrizio Romano has even reported that ‘contacts are taking place with the player’s agents’.
The report further suggests that Liverpool are hopeful of negotiating Southampton down from their initial £50m asking price.
It’s claimed that Liverpool are ‘trying to understand the final price tag’ in the hope of getting the midfielder for a cheaper price.
