Liverpool on the Verge of Finalising Deal for Romeo Lavia as Club Matches Southampton’s Asking Price
Liverpool Football Club is edging closer to securing the services of Romeo Lavia from Southampton, as they are reportedly prepared to meet the Saints’ asking price. Sacha Tavolieri has indicated that the Reds are ready to pay a fee of £40m ($51), in addition to potential add-ons, for the talented midfielder. Lavia has already agreed to personal terms with Liverpool and is now eagerly anticipating the completion of negotiations between the two clubs.
This latest development comes after Southampton initially rejected Liverpool’s initial bid of £37m ($48m) for the youngster. However, it appears that the Saints are now willing to cash in on what could potentially be their most significant sale of the year. The allure of joining one of the Premier League giants has undoubtedly played a role in Lavia’s desire to move to Anfield.
Liverpool’s midfield has been left depleted following the departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, prompting the club to actively seek reinforcements in that area. While the Reds have already secured the signings of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton and Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig this summer, Lavia remains the priority target to strengthen their midfield options.
Despite their pursuit of Lavia, Liverpool is also considering alternative options and are exploring the possibility of acquiring Fluminense star Andre. The club is looking to bolster their squad ahead of the upcoming season and secure more depth and quality in key positions.
As the transfer window progresses, many fans are eagerly awaiting news of the latest signings. A recent poll conducted by the club asked supporters to vote for the best signing of the transfer window so far. The options included Jude Bellingham, Christopher Nkunku, Dominik Szoboszlai, Mason Mount, Sandro Tonali, and an “other” category, allowing fans to voice their preferences.
Liverpool’s pursuit of Lavia reflects their determination to strengthen their squad and compete at the highest level. The imminent signing of the midfielder would undoubtedly bolster their midfield and provide manager Jurgen Klopp with more options and depth as they look to challenge for domestic and European honors in the upcoming season.
