Liverpool has £111 million Moises Caicedo fee to spend on three stars after star snubbed move

After Moises Caicedo reportedly rejected a move to Anfield, Liverpool is looking to add to its summer signings.

Following an agreement to purchase Moises Caicedo from Brighton for £111 million, Liverpool appeared close to completing the transaction. However, the 21-year-old turned down a transfer to Anfield because he is waiting to join Chelsea. Jurgen Klopp, the manager of the Reds, will have to move on quickly to pursue other signings this summer; they could use the £11 million to bring in three players instead.

Romeo Lavia: £55m

The Premier League’s top clubs aren’t just keeping an eye on central midfielder Caicedo; since the transfer window opened, Liverpool and Chelsea have been vying to sign Southampton star Romeo Lavia.

Southampton is reportedly holding out for £50 million despite Liverpool making multiple offers, the most recent of which was for £46 million. It seems strange that the Merseysiders would argue over a pitiful £5 million if they are so desperate for another defensive midfielder.
And now that Caicedo seems to be beyond the Reds’ grasp, they might cave in to Southampton’s demands and pay the extra money.

Chelsea is reportedly willing to spend £55 million to acquire Lavia.
But it seems the 19-year-old would rather move to Anfield than Stamford Bridge if Liverpool matched that sum.

Tyler Adams: £20m

According to all accounts, Friday seemed to be a day of last-minute U-turns, with Chelsea pulling out of a deal to sign Tyler Adams, a midfielder for Leeds, after activating his £20 million relegation release clause. According to The Athletic, the 24-year-old had traveled to west London to have a medical, and personal matters were not thought to be a problem.

However, the Blues quickly changed course and concentrated their efforts on luring the Ecuadorian international after Caicedo decided against moving to the north west.

After moving from RB Leipzig to Leeds, Adams made 24 Premier League appearances last season. And Liverpool could now seize the opportunity by offering the Whites £20 million for the American international, who is clearly eager to get back to the Premier League as soon as possible and is of the caliber to be a very valuable player to Klopp and company.

Goncalo Inacio: £40m

Liverpool isn’t just looking to bolster their midfield this summer; Klopp also needs a center-back who can help his backline fill in the gaps left over from last year. During their underwhelming season, the Reds gave up 47 goals in the Premier League and an additional 12 in the Champions League.

They could also use Sporting’s Goncalo Inacio as a center back. The 21-year-old has played 122 times for the dominant Portuguese team and has frequently participated in Champions League and Europa League matches. According to reports, Inacio’s contract contains a £40 million release clause that the Reds could immediately exercise.

Lavia, Adams, and Inacio could all be acquired by Klopp for a total of £115 million, according to this. Additionally, the trio may inspire the German team this year and help make up for Caicedo’s absence.

Liverpool have seen £34million transfer blocked as Romeo Lavia move takes Chelsea twist

Liverpool are unlikely to sign Andre this summer.

Liverpool may have to wait until the January transfer window to sign Andre in midfield, even if they are now losing Romeo Lavia. Fluminense are refusing to lose Brazilian international Andre until the end of the Copa Libertadores season.

A 2-0 win against Argentinos Juniors on Tuesday night saw the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A club progress to the quarter-finals of the South American Champions League. They will contest the two final stages on August 22-24 and August 29-31.

This means it could be too difficult for Liverpool to secure a deal before the window closes. The 22-year-old has a £34m release clause in his contract, but the Reds are facing a race against time to get the most precise details before the September 1 deadline.

This scenario also depends entirely on Fluminense also losing their quarter-final tie. Liverpool would do well not to pin all their hopes on it as victory would give them extremely short time to sign an alternative for the first six months of the year.

A move for Andre in January is more likely as Jurgen Klopp rebuilds his midfield. Although he may still need a new midfielder before then, otherwise Liverpool risk being short on numbers.

They have signed Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister but have lost five first-team midfielders this summer, including captain Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, who were regular starters last season.

Andre would be the long-term successor to Thiago Alcantara, whose contract expires in 2024. The one-capped Brazilian international comes across more as a controller with an impressive hitting range, like Thiago, than a ball-winner like Fabinho. .

Liverpool have been working on a deal to sign Romeo Lavia from Southampton to replace Fabinho as the team’s number 6. Journalist Sacha Tavolieri reported on Thursday that the Saints expected the Reds to meet their £50m price tag.

But Chelsea have now stolen with a £48m offer for the 19-year-old, including add-ons. Liverpool have turned down three offers for the Belgian, the latest at around £45m.

Southampton are refusing to cut the £50m valuation of the 19-year-old, who arrived from Manchester City just 12 months ago, to a high of £14m. However, Chelsea’s proposal could be enough to send Lavia to Stamford Bridge.

Missing out on the player after all his groundwork would be an embarrassing setback for Klopp’s side. Moreover, Chelsea are close to finalizing a deal for Moises Caicedo from Brighton for around £100million.

The Ecuadorian is another defensive-minded player admired by Liverpool despite being deemed far too expensive for the Merseyside side.
