Liverpool are attempting to sign a new midfielder, with £50million-rated Romeo Lavia top of the list. Liverpool are planning to clarify the future of Fabinho “this week”.
Midfield moves have been an important part of the Reds’ summer window. They saw Alex Chamberlain, Naby Keita and James Milner leave on free transfers. And now it appears they’re soon to be hit with the explosive exit of club captain Jordan Henderson. That is to Saudi Arabian side Al Ettifaq.
More permanent midfield exits could go through this summer. This is as Fabinho is the subject of interest from Al Ittihad. With that move seemingly advancing well.
Romeo Lavia will brings qualities to the Liverpool midfield which they lacks
“Romeo Lavia is one of the names they have on the list. They’re not super happy about the asking price. It’s something close to £50m, asked from Southampton. They want to pay way less than this for Lavia,” Jacobs added
“They are also aware of the interests of other clubs, including Chelsea. So, this is why the Lavia situation is not that easy, but for sure, he is one of the names on the list.”
It seems they’ll need to recruit a new midfielder or two. That is if both Fabinho and Henderson are to leave, so even if it’s not Lavia. It will be a massive surprise if somebody isn’t signed by Jurgen Klopp’s side soon.
