Liverpool is now ready to agree to a £45 million fee after obtaining a signing contract, according to a report

Southampton once more rejected Liverpool’s bid to retain Romeo Lavia’s services. Liverpool then made another attempt.

According to several sources, the Reds made a move and made an offer that was more than £40 million. According to today’s The Mail, the Merseysiders presented a figure of £41 million.

However, the Anfield club made a £42 million offer, according to renowned Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The Saints, who yesterday trained with the St. Mary’s team, are still demanding a fee of £50 million for the teenager because the numbers were insufficient to reach an agreement.

According to The Mail, Liverpool are hesitant to make that kind of a bid for a midfielder who is only 19 and has a little bit of experience playing in the top division.

However, the 19-time English champions are expected to make another offer for the Belgian international, and reports suggest they are willing to settle on a sum of £45 million.

Liverpool are prepared to pay £45 million to sign the talented defensive midfielder to replace Fab and Hendo at Anfield, according to an exclusive report published by Football Insider last night.

According to the news source, Liverpool has already agreed upon the specifics of a contract with Lavia, and even Romano confirmed the player wants to transfer.

Even 90min reports that the Reds, who are keen to sign the Saints player, are anticipated to make a third offer.

Today’s penultimate preseason game between Jurgen Klopp’s team and Bayern Munich will require the signing of a new No. To integrate him into the system before the new Premier League season begins, it would take until at least June 6.

Romeo Lavia latest as Jurgen Klopp wants deal before imminent ‘deadline

Liverpool are ready to make an improved offer for the Southampton midfielder, to avoid Chelsea’s interest and make it part of their pre-stuagional tours through Singapore

Liverpool is ready to make an improved offer for Romeo Lavia, with the hope of quickly completing an agreement for the midfielder.

Jurgen Klopp planns to renew his machine room this summer and has already signed Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. But with Fabinho and Jordan Henderson now the subject of offers from Saudi Arabia, this soon became a need.

Lavia, who designed for the Saints of Manchester City last summer, was a radiant star in the championship despite their relegation. And he played enough heads during his first superior campaign to ensure that his decrease in the second layer is short -lived. A number of clubs have been linked with the 19-year-old, with Chelsea also remaining firmly interested. However, Liverpool want to strike while the iron is hot and just two days after an opening offer was rejected they are set to return.

Athletic report that after rejecting an initial offer of £37m, the Reds are ready to put together a financial package that should bring them closer to Southampton’s £50m valuation. This will likely consist of several possible additions, with high confidence that a compromise can be reached.

And Klopp hopes that will happen sooner rather than later when his side fly to Singapore later this week. Liverpool are set to leave on Thursday and the Kop boss wants a deal to be finalized before then so the Belgium international can sit on the plane.

Southampton manager Russell Martin praised the youngster for his professionalism midweek after playing 45 minutes in Tuesday’s friendly against Bournemouth. “Given what’s going on, I thought it would be good for Romeo to play tonight and do all these things because he didn’t have the minutes the others had.

“You can ask for an update, but I can’t give you one because I don’t know. I’ll speak to (sporting director) Jason (Wilcox) now, but I’ve prepared for this game.”

Klopp and his players returned to Merseyside after a camp in Germany, where he insisted more deals would be finalized before the competition begins in less than a month. “There are so many things to do,” he told the club’s media team. “The transfer window is open. If my day had 28 hours right now it wouldn’t be a problem – I could easily fill them!

“There are still three and a half weeks until the first game of the season. Before then there is still a lot to do, especially in terms of the transfer market. This is now clear. And it will happen. New players must enter. We will have a good team.”

Pending an official announcement, Henderson’s departure is already complete, with the former captain making the controversial decision despite a late appeal from the club’s LGBT+ fan group.

Fabinho is also expected to leave but his move to Al Ittihad fell through due to a delay in the process. Not all parties have completed the transfer yet, which could net the Reds around £40m when completed.
