ACCORDING TO REPORT: THIRD BID IMMINENT, ‘LIVERPOOL COULD BUCKLE’ ON £50M DEAL.

A THIRD GO-ROUND FOR LIVERPOOL’S RESISTANT SEARCH FOR ROMEO LAVIA?
LIVERPOOL, WILL THEY SPEND £50 MILLION ON LAVIA?
Liverpool is once again on the hunt for a spark to add to their midfield, which could change the way they play. Romeo Lavia, a Belgian international who Southampton views as their own diamond in the rough, is the player they have their sights firmly set on this time.

Liverpool are still determined to sign the talented 19-year-old despite two previous failures. It’s obvious that the negotiations are proving to be more challenging than anticipated because the Saints quickly rejected an initial £42 million bid.

Lavia, who is interested in moving to Merseyside, appears to be the next component Jurgen Klopp needs for his midfield rebuild, according to 90min. He must rebuild, in spite of the signings of Alexis MacAllister and Dominik Szoboszlai, and in particular after the recent departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho.

Lavia is a “special” player, as Jadon Sancho stated in the Daily Mail. This praise, along with the urgency to sign Lavia before the start of the new Premier League season, only fuels Liverpool’s unrelenting pursuit.

Liverpool will bid again for Romeo Lavia, no doubts; it was already decided last week and club now ready to submit new proposal to Southampton 🔴 #LFC

LIVERPOOL COULD BUCKLE, ACCORDING TO SOUTHAMPTON.

The Saints, who are now in the Championship, are by no means simple-minded traders. They have a right to demand a high price for their star midfielder, but they are coming across as quite the obstinate group. The chances of signing Lavia for less than £50 million are now slim because Liverpool’s lowball offers were quickly rejected.

Liverpool is in a difficult situation as they want to buy Lavia from Southampton for £50 million, but they are hesitant to do so. The Reds might have no choice but to agree to the Saints’ terms for the midfielder after both of their earlier bids were declared invalid.

Lavia is being considered as the ideal Fabinho replacement, and such a crucial signing may very well force the Merseyside club to pay the full sum. Lavia wearing Liverpool gear and working out with the team is also something that fans are getting more and more excited about as this deal drags on, and Klopp is undoubtedly daydreaming about this possibility.

Romeo Lavia’s pursuit by Liverpool is more than just another transfer saga. The club’s tenacity, future-focused outlook, and willingness to fight for their ideals are all demonstrated by this. Time will tell how this fascinating story of perseverance, negotiation, and football fervor ends, but will the third offer prove to be the charm?

More news……..

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been named as Virgil van Dijk’s vice-captain by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.

In place of Jordan Henderson, Trent Alexander-Arnold has been named vice captain and Virgil van Dijk has been named the new Liverpool captain by Jurgen Klopp.

The Netherlands defender was brought in to fill Henderson’s shoes after the latter gave up the captaincy to join Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ettifaq after being lured to the region and signing a staggering £700,000-per-week contract.

Van Dijk joined the Reds from Southampton in 2018 and has since established himself as one of the team’s top performers during a successful period that has seen the team win its first Premier League championship and sixth Champions League trophy.

He will assume the captaincy, making him the first Reds defender to do so since Sami Hyypia gave it up in 2003.

Van Dijk said to Liverpoolfc . com in Singapore: “[It’s] a really proud day for me, for my wife, for my kids, and for my family.”. I struggle to put into words the unique feeling I’ve been experiencing.

But it’s something I’m really, really proud of. “Of course, I’m captain of Holland; that was already such a tremendous honor and a proud moment.”. I can’t right now describe what it’s like to also be the captain of Liverpool Football Club.

“It’s just something that makes me very proud, and I will do everything I can to make everyone happy and proud of me and the football club.”. ‘ .

Van Dijk has led the Netherlands since being named captain ahead of the 2022 World Cup, and Klopp has apparently been impressed enough to name him as Liverpool’s newest manager.

The 32-year-old has played a crucial role in the club’s recent success, but over the past two seasons, he has struggled with serious injuries at various points.

He missed 41 days of the previous season due to a hamstring injury, and he also missed nearly the entire 2020–21 campaign due to surgery for a cruciate ligament injury.

In the event that he is unable to participate in games during the upcoming season, vice-captain Alexander-Arnold will assume the captaincy.

The city is where the England international was born, and he has played a crucial role in Klopp’s efforts to help Liverpool win more trophies.

His place in Liverpool’s lineup was called into question following a disappointing campaign the previous year, during which the Reds struggled to find consistency and ultimately finished outside the Champions League spots.

After a late surge of impressive midfield displays, Alexander-Arnold recovered and is once more anticipated to start every game for Klopp in 2019.
