Romeo Lavia’s transfer to Liverpool has received significant Southampton news.

After pausing in their pursuit of Romeo Lavia, Liverpool may now be moving forward.

As reported by The Top Flight, Liverpool had two bids for Romeo Lavia from Southampton rejected. Since there hasn’t been a new bid in recent days, things appear to have slowed down. On the other hand, it is clear that Liverpool has begun to consider other midfield targets. The Romeo Lavia transfer saga has finally seen some fresh and significant developments.

A few specifics about the circumstance have been provided by Fabrizio Romano via the “here we go” podcast.

“Southampton consistently demands £50 million, while Liverpool has tried with £37 million and then £42 million. I’m still convinced that Liverpool will make another attempt and make another bid for Romeo Lavia. However, Southampton is more responsible than Liverpool, so it will be interesting to see how they respond to these bids. Liverpool, in my opinion, will submit another bid.

There must be some internal optimism that a deal still has a chance given Liverpool’s expectation to make another offer. Romeo Lavia’s absence from Southampton’s opening Championship game against Sheffield Wednesday will always be encouraging news for Liverpool supporters.

He watched the entire 2-1 victory for Southampton from the sidelines. Romeo Lavia and James Ward-Prowse’s possible departures were discussed by Southampton manager Russell Martin during the pre-game press conference [transcribed by Daily Echo].

“I don’t know if I think they’ll be Southampton players by the end of the window. There is probably a big difference between what I hope and what I think.

“If they both leave at some point, or if only one does, it will be because both the club and the player have achieved something that is advantageous to all parties. ”.

“I believe that is the reason it has dragged on so long thus far, and I believe that it may still drag on, but both of them while they have been here have been great, at very different stages of their careers. ”.

Martin agrees that Southampton will resist lowering their asking prices but acknowledges that a transfer is still a possibility. Lavia’s exclusion from the game might be a sign that he isn’t mentally prepared to represent Southampton in crucial games at the moment. Possibly this week, a new offer for the midfielder will be made.

More news……….

Liverpool has already made an £82,000-a-week offer for a creative player worth £34 million.

Liverpool have long been linked to Gabri Veiga, the young Spaniard and Celta Vigo, and now the Reds have made an offer to sign him.

However, the Catalan outlet stressed it would be difficult for the Anfield club to match the €40m, or £34m, release clause.

Now, according to Spanish source, Deportes COPE Galicia (via Estadio Deportivo), Liverpool have made a sizable offer of €25m to attract the midfielder.

To sweeten the deal, the Premier League giants are willing to loan the player to Celta so he can play in La Liga next season.

The loan option would certainly not benefit Jurgen Klopp, who is in desperate need of reinforcements in the center after replacing five midfielders this summer. Veiga is a creative attacking midfielder, who directly contributed to 15 goals (11 goals and 4 assists) last season.

In the last game of the season, he helped his youth club survive relegation by scoring a brace against Spanish champions Barcelona.

He made six appearances at the Under-21 European Championship for Spain, playing 31 minutes in the final against England.

Liverpool could have a good chance of signing Veiga from Celta Vigo as former Anfield boss Rafael Benitez is the Spanish side’s manager.

Rafa sold us a jewel in the form of Philippe Coutinho when he was at Inter and Sturridge when he was at Chelsea.
