A report claims that Liverpool and Romeo Lavia are currently in “concrete” discussions.

Romeo Lavia of Southampton has consistently been linked with a move to Liverpool, and those rumors haven’t changed despite allegedly “ongoing” negotiations. ”.

The 19-year-old has been the subject of numerous reports in recent weeks, with a transfer from the Saints anticipated following their relegation to the Championship.

Russell Martin, the manager of Southampton, is essentially prepared to lose some of his key players, but they are not supposed to let Lavia leave without demanding a sizable fee.

According to Melissa Reddy of Sky Sports, the south coast club are “confident” of getting £50 million for a player who has only made 29 Premier League appearances.

According to reports, Thiago is the player who must leave the field for Liverpool before a third midfielder can be added.

Now, Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany reports that negotiations between the club and the players’ representatives are “concrete and ongoing,” emphasizing once more how well-suited Lavia is for Klopp.

At this point in their interest, Plettenberg continues, “understands there is no agreement in terms of [a] salary,” which is not unusual.

The upcoming weeks will be interesting because Lavia will be eager to return to the top flight and aware that he has plenty of suitors, which could put pressure on Southampton.

However, the Saints are in a strong position to negotiate for their young star because they are aware that Man City has a buyback option worth £40 million next summer.

When it comes to Liverpool and Lavia, the commotion isn’t going away any time soon, so it will be interesting to see whether and how the club responds in light of interest in adding a left-sided center-back to its roster this summer.

The rebuild has gotten off to a good start with Alexis MacAllister and Dominik Szoboszlai, but many believe the Reds must do more to ensure the success of this transfer window.

More news…….

Liverpool transfer news: It’s been reported that Jürgen Klopp is keeping an eye out for a potential Thiago replacement, and that a huge offer has reportedly been made for Kylian Mbappé.

The summer transfer window has gotten off to an almost flawless start for Liverpool. Two significant components of the rebuild have already been completed before preseason, and the first group of players will be returning to the AXA Training Center on Saturday.

Liverpool has changed two-thirds of its midfield with the additions of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, and there may be more to come in that area as well as farther back in Jürgen Klopp’s defense.

Liverpool needed a significant summer transfer window to get back on track, and the Reds have made a great start by moving ahead of many rivals to sign two top players.

However, that won’t be enough to satisfy the Liverpool fan base’s hunger. Even two midfield additions of that caliber do not amount to a rebuild.

Szoboszlai was almost immediately forgotten in favor of whoever might enter the room after him once he had passed through the door and had his picture taken wearing his new number eight shirt.

Roméo Lavia (Southampton)

The Telegraph reports that Liverpool is prepared to let Thiago Alcântara go this summer and might replace him with Southampton midfielder Roméo Lavia, who is valued at $64 million (£50 million/€58 million).

According to The Athletic, Thiago is courting interest from the Saudi Pro League and has already turned down an offer from a local club. But a departure from Liverpool cannot be completely ruled out because the Spaniard’s contract expires next summer.

Lavia, meanwhile, has emerged as Liverpool’s top choice for the position as the Reds consider their options in the market following the arrival of Szoboszlai earlier this week.

Lavia would be a good long-term option for the Reds, and while he wouldn’t be a direct substitute for Thiago, it would be a case of swapping one out and bringing one in. Due to the significantly better injury track record of the current midfielders, Liverpool may not necessarily need more players in this position.

Kylian Mbappé (PSG)

Kylian Mbappé and Liverpool: a never-ending story. This time, journalist Edu Aguirre claimed in an interview with El Chiringuito TV that the Reds have made a staggering $217 million (£171 million/€200 million) offer for the Frenchman, who PSG has put up for sale.

The 24-year-old has made it clear that he has no intention of signing a contract extension with the Ligue 1 club, so PSG does not want to lose Mbappé for nothing next summer.

Real Madrid, though, is the destination that Mbappé is most likely to choose. This has been the situation for a while, as Liverpool is well aware of his talent and prowess—but also his price tag.

It is simply impossible for the Reds to spend that much money on a single player, according to Liverpool.com. Even though it would be less than Neymar’s transfer from Barcelona to PSG, it is simply not going to happen. Even without the transfer fee, Mbappé would be extremely expensive, and Liverpool will never approve of it.
