Lavia ‘as well’: Unpleasant news keeps coming in Liverpool’s hunt for new midfielder
It would appear that Moises Caicedo will be joining Chelsea, and it would be reasonable to think that Liverpool would now turn their attention back to Romeo Lavia, who was one of their prior transfer targets. However, none of these outcomes appears likely at this point.
According to a story that was written by Matt Law and Sam Wallace for The Telegraph, “Chelsea have also made an offer worth £55million for Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia, who had also been a target of Liverpool.”
‘Sources believe Chelsea could recruit the Belgian in addition to Caicedo, but Caicedo is their top target,’ one of the sources said.
It is one thing to miss out on a player, which is something that can happen to a variety of different teams, but it appears that we have now watched both Jude Bellingham and Moises Caicedo slip through our fingers, so missing out on Romeo Lavia may be a significant blow to our team.
It is evident that there is money available for a new midfielder, as evidenced by the record-breaking bid that was accepted from Brighton, but the Reds are running out of time and objectives to locate one.
This move to public transfer offers and the failure to get deals over the line feels like a galaxy away from how things used to be when we look back to the reign of Michael Edwards, who presided over the club during that time.
Although we have signed Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, both contracts contain buy-out clauses, and it has been claimed that Billy Hogan took the lead in the discussions with the Seagulls, which leads us to believe that something is not quite right.
Our reputation has taken a knock, and the market is now aware of the total amount of money we have available for transfers, but fortunately, there is still time and money available for Jurgen Klopp to resolve this issue in the middle of the field.
There is a significant amount of work that needs to be done in order to salvage our summer and, maybe, our entire season.
