Having signed two midfielders, Liverpool are still looking to make improvements to the center of the park and Romeo Lavia’s name is strongly linked.
Media reports have indicated that the Reds are preparing a bid to lure the young midfielder out of Southamton.
Latest reports indicate Liverpool are ready to accept a £40m fee to sign the 19-year-old this summer.
According to an exclusive story published by Football Insider, the Reds are willing to offer £40million for Lavia.
The move won’t be far from the South Coast club’s asking price, which is demanding around £50m for their prized asset.
The news source said that after signing Argentine international Alexis Mac Allister and Hungarian star Dominik Szoboszlai, Klopp is still keen to add another midfielder.
The German coach is also looking for a central defender to improve his backline
Mac Allister is primarily a central midfielder who likes to play in the number 8 position. He has chosen to wear the number 10 shirt for us.
On the other hand, Szoboszlai is obviously happy to play the role of the number 10 and will be wearing the iconic number 8 at Anfield. Now the Merseysiders need to strengthen the No.6 playbreaker position and that’s why Romeo Lavia is the focus.
The Belgian defensive midfielder put in some impressive performances for Southampton last season but failed to save the team from relegation.
Across all competitions, the teenager has made 35 appearances, scoring one goal and providing one assist.
Do you think Romeo Lavia is really worth £50m?
