As Liverpool continues their pre-season in Germany, they are trying to close in to sign the Championship midfielder, Romeo Lavia as a replacement for Fabinho.
In their first game, they defeated German side Karlsruher 4-2, with Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo, and Diogo Jota on the scoresheet.
Klopp would be keen for his side to continue building momentum ahead of their PL season.
After a disappointing season last time around, the Reds would be hopeful of being there and challenging for all trophies this time.
However, there have been a few dents in the squad with Henderson and Fabinho leaving this summer. Moreover, there are reports about Thiago wanting to leave the club as well.
The sheer excitement of the new signings Mac Allister and Dominic Szoboszlai has faded after reports of more outgoings emerged.
The Reds do need more signings in the middle of the park irrespective of the exits, and that has always been the plan.
Liverpool closing in on Romeo Lavia move
The Reds do need a young and dynamic player to replace the 29-year-old holding midfielder.
There have been a few names but Romeo Lavia has been a stand-out name for quite a while now. Ever since his outstanding season with Southampton last time, he has been linked to big clubs.
He is also said to have attracted interest from some other big Premier League clubs, including Chelsea and Arsenal.
Meanwhile, former side Manchester City are believed to have included a buy-back clause in his contract last summer. Moreover, with Riyad Mahrez leaving, Pep might go for his former academy player.
Despite his efforts, his side were relegated to the second division. But that hasn’t lowered his asking price with the Saints asking a minimum of £50m for the Belgian.
As per Football Insider, the Reds are making progress in their efforts to sign Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia.
The report claims that Liverpool remain in contact with the Saints and are hopeful that a deal can be agreed by the end of July.
