Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Romeo Lavia, Andre, and Aurelien Tchouameni.

The most recent Andre, Romeo Lavia, Aurelien Tchouameni, and other transfer rumors, rumors, gossip, and speculation are all related to Liverpool.

In light of their inability to close a deal for Southampton’s Romeo Lavia, Liverpool is considering a move for Brazilian midfielder Andre.

Aurelien Tchouameni, a former midfield target, has allegedly been made available for transfer by Real Madrid.

Rivals are connected in a novel Romeo-Lavia twist.
The Independent reports that Manchester United is reportedly considering a move for Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia, and that Liverpool’s failure to acquire him at the second attempt may come back to haunt them.

Tuesday, when the Reds made a second offer of £41 million, it was rejected. As their rivals consider the midfield market, they may try to take advantage.

However, the fact that United must sell in order to fund a new transfer puts a significant advantage in Liverpool’s favor.

U-turn by Sofyan Amrabat.

Sofyan Amrabat might yet make a significant turn for the better and remain at Fiorentina.

the midfielder who stood out at last year’s World Cup and generated speculation about a move to the Premier League.

Sometimes Liverpool was mentioned, but Corriere Della Sera shut that down last week when they said Amrabat preferred Manchester United.

According to the Mail Online, the Moroccan has since expressed he is uncertain about making a move this summer, admitting “he doesn’t know if he is leaving.”.

Talking about Sadio Mane is Jurgen Klopp.
It’s possible that Sadio Mane’s first and only season at Bayern Munich didn’t go as many people had hoped.

It seemed like the ideal time for the Senegalese forward to reunite with Liverpool when the English club announced a friendly match with the German champions just a few months ago, but that won’t be possible now that he has officially signed with Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr.

Jurgen Klopp expressed this in his press conference yesterday, according to iMiaSanMia, saying: “I don’t know what went wrong, to be honest. Without a doubt, a world-class player, I believe Sadio left us in great shape and on a high note. I believe that pretty much everything needs to line up for you to reach your full potential. “.

Aurelien Tchouameni asking price
Should they still be interested in Aurelien Tchouameni of Real Madrid, the Reds have received a boost.

Los Blancos, according to El Nacional, must part ways with some of their players in order to raise the money to sign Kylian Mbappe.

They claim that Tchouameni is “a completely dispensable piece” and that they would like to recoup at least the £80 million they paid AS Monaco for him last summer, even if he “continues to enter Carlo Ancelotti’s plans.”.

As Liverpool’s search for a midfielder takes a new turn, Romeo Lavia and Andre are the most recent.

As part of their ongoing search for additional engine room reinforcements, Liverpool had a second offer for Romeo Lavia rejected and has now started talks with Fluminese about defensive midfielder Andre.

Romeo Lavia, a midfielder for the national team of Belgium, was offered to Southampton in a revised deal worth about £41 million.

But it is understood that it was declined. It’s unclear if the South Coast club will continue to be unreasonable, forcing Liverpool to pay the full £50 million asking price to sign the 19-year-old.

As a result of the unexpected departures of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson to Saudi Arabia, Lavia has emerged as Liverpool’s next top target this summer as they look to fill the void left by those players in defensive midfield.

The Reds have been considering their options since Southampton rejected their initial offer of £34 million plus £4 million in add-ons last week.

Even though it’s thought the player has expressed a desire to join Jurgen Klopp’s team, the Saints are unwilling to give up what they consider to be an accurate valuation of a player they initially paid £12 million for from Manchester City last season.

Jurgen Klopp given perfect chance to go on Liverpool search amid £41m bid

The rejection of Liverpool’s second offer for Romeo Lavia may force them to focus their attention elsewhere.

The fact that Liverpool needs a new defensive midfielder is no secret, according to Jurgen Klopp.

The Reds manager barely made an attempt to downplay the importance of replacing Jordan Henderson and Fabinho when speaking to the media in Singapore.

There has been a forced revolution rather than the evolution Klopp may have anticipated in a summer that always expected significant change in Liverpool’s midfield. After their respective contracts expired, James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain left their respective teams without much of a surprise. For a total of £95 million, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai duly took the place of the trio. Many people agreed that was wise business.

However, the departures of Fabinho and Reds captain Henderson were unexpected. Liverpool’s feathers were indeed ruffled by the new transfer market disruptors, Saudi Arabia. Klopp and Jorg Schmadtke, the sporting director, were compelled to start over.

The Reds’ preferred candidate to fill the position of enforcer in the middle of the park is a player named Romeo Lavia. With only 29 Premier League games under his belt, there are some questions about the 19-year-old’s experience, but Klopp and his hiring team obviously believe Lavia is up to the task. If not, they wouldn’t have made two offers.

The international player from Belgium may or may not transfer to Anfield, though.
Despite being relegated to the Championship, Southampton is holding out for £50 million, which is £9 million more than Liverpool’s rumored second offer of £41 million.

It is yet to be seen whether Liverpool will comply with the requirements if the Saints maintain their composure under pressure. They will be valued in other areas besides the south coast. The Reds will also have a cost that they think is reasonable.

A backup plan will be necessary if a fee cannon is negotiated. It makes sense to act in this way. And when Liverpool play their penultimate preseason friendly against Bayern Munich today, Klopp may well get the best look at one potential option he can.

Throughout the entire summer transfer window, Ryan Gravenberch has been mentioned. The Netherlands international, alongside Khephren Thuram, Manu Kone, and Gabri Veiga, was a name that kept coming up before Szoboszlai made a name for himself.

Only one year ago, Gravenberch paid £16 million to transfer from Ajax to Bayern. He was hailed as one of Europe’s most exciting prospects after helping the Dutch giants win three Eredivisie titles and two KNVB Cups.

But things weren’t exactly smooth during his inaugural season at the Allianz Arena. Even though Gravenberch made a total of 33 appearances and won the Bundesliga championship medal, he was largely an incidental player. The 21-year-old received a pitiful six starts, and he was benched 14 times.

Gravenberch will undoubtedly be hoping to contribute more significantly in the 2023–24 campaign. That may not be the case, however, as suggested by Thomas Tuchel’s preseason team selections. The last two games were started by Konrad Laimer and Joshua Kimmich. Meanwhile, the desire for another engine-room operator is indicated by the fact that Bayern was interested in signing Declan Rice before his £105 million transfer from West Ham to Arsenal.

If Bayern did indeed approve a departure, Gravenberch might decide to weigh his options as a result. Therefore, a strong showing against Liverpool could very well persuade Klopp that Gravenberch is someone who can fill the void left by Fabinho.

Another potential Lavia replacement that Liverpool has identified is the Fluminese midfielder Andre. The fact that he hasn’t played in either the Premier League or Europe raises some doubts, though.
There would probably be a period of acclimatization.

In 2023–2024, the Premier League won’t have many teams that are better than Liverpool. Gravenberch may very well demonstrate his suitability for the job with an arresting performance.

To choose his ideal Enzo Fernandez partner, Mauricio Pochettino had to make two Chelsea transfer decisions.

In advance of Chelsea’s upcoming Premier League season, football.London examines in great detail how Andrey Santos and Cesare Casadei have performed during preseason thus far.

When Chelsea plays Liverpool later this month, a few players must be listed on the team roster.

Reece James belongs to one of them. Thiago Silva and Levi Colwill are required as the center back duo. Perhaps, however, with the support of Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson, who both had a strong preseason, you would say that there is only one player left who is certain to face the Reds.

Naturally, that is Enzo Fernandez. The Argentina international has been simply sensational since joining the Premier League. He joined from Benfica for a record-breaking £106 million fee in the January transfer window.

When Mauricio Pochettino was questioned over the weekend about how unique it is to have Enzo Fernandez, he answered, “Always it is a pleasure. “I am so proud of him because he is a world champion for Argentina, a fantastic player, and a fighter as well.

“I am from Argentina, and I was happy for them when they won the World Cup. Having a player like him on the team is a pleasure. “.

There aren’t many people in the world better in their position than Fernandez, but finding him a partner for Chelsea this summer has proven to be a significant challenge. The Blues are still in talks with Brighton about a deal to sign Moises Caicedo, but as has been widely reported, they have been utterly unsuccessful in getting the Seagulls to agree to a price.

Brighton has already declined three offers from Chelsea, the most recent of which is thought to be worth a total of £80 million in football. London comprehends. Chelsea won’t give up on trying to sign the Ecuadorian international, but discussions about what they can do in the interim while negotiations are ongoing have taken place behind the scenes.

Possibilities for Pochettino include Andrey Santos and Cesare Casadei, who both played significant roles during Chelsea’s preseason tour of the United States. Especially impressive is Santos, a 19-year-old.

The young Brazilian star played the first 45 minutes of Landover’s 2-0 victory against Fulham, starting alongside Enzo. Both Santos’ off-the-ball work and his thoughtful, progressive passing while in possession of the ball were impressive.

Despite still being a teenager, he reads the game so well and has an impressively high football IQ. Despite the fact that he has not yet played for the club in a competitive match, it is believed that those at Chelsea have been extremely impressed with what they have seen from him so far.

Santos also receives the ball on the half-turn, which is essential when playing in such a position. He doesn’t hesitate to dribble with the ball toward opposing midfielders before releasing control at the last moment, which obviously creates a lot of opportunities for the Chelsea attack by forcing an opponent out of position.

Casadei has, however, revealed glimmers of his undeniable talent. Though it appears that playing in a double pivot in Pochettino’s preferred 4-2-3-1 formation somewhat restricts his offensive abilities, the Italian midfielder may be better suited for an attacking position. He might not possess the technical skills necessary to sit in the pivot, which Santos and Enzo both possess in spades.

In addition, Chelsea intends to loan Casadei out once more this campaign after his previous loan to Championship club Reading. Early interest in the 20-year-old midfielder came from newly promoted Championship team Leicester City, but Chelsea would prefer to see the talented Italian play in the Premier League.

Casadei was of the school that believed a substantial loan period was necessary for him to continue developing going into the summer transfer window and the preseason tour of the United States. If Chelsea is successful in matching the Italian Under-20 international with the appropriate club, Pochettino and co. would consider their options and look at him again the following summer.

Andre, who is he? A midfielder from Fluminense and Brazil is now Liverpool’s latest transfer target.

After losing six midfielders this summer, Jurgen Klopp is ready to bolster his team with another one, and Andre is the newest name to be connected to a transfer to Anfield.

Andre, a player currently playing for Fluminense, may be available this summer, according to Liverpool.

After Jordan Henderson and Fabinho recently left the team to join the Saudi Pro League, Jurgen Klopp is eager to add another midfielder to his group. Following the expiration of their contracts, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita, and James Milner left the Reds in June, while Arthur went back on loan to Juventus.

Despite the arrival of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, Klopp is optimistic that Liverpool can do more to strengthen their lineup before the start of the new campaign. The Reds are considering signing Romeo Lavia, but it may be challenging to reach an agreement with Southampton after Liverpool had a £41 million offer for the Belgian rejected right away.

Andre is now on the Reds’ list of potential targets, so they are looking at other options. According to Sky Sports, Liverpool have made contact with Fluminense as they prepare to make a move for the 22-year-old, exactly one month before the English transfer window closes.

Who is Andre?

The Brazilian international progressed through Fluminense’s ranks before making his professional debut in September 2020, replacing Dodi late in a 1-0 victory over Atletico Goianiense. He quickly established himself in the for the rest of the season, but it wasn’t until 2021 that he truly came into his own.

In July 2021, Andre scored his first goal as a professional, securing the victory over Flamengo. He didn’t score again that season but he did make 36 appearances across all leagues, winning the best Serie A newcomer award along the way.

But Andre was at his best the previous campaign, playing a remarkable 61 times for Fluminense and taking home two significant medals in the Taca Guanabara and Campeonato Carioca. When he entered the game against Senegal in the closing moments in June, it was that form that helped him earn his first Brazil cap.

Playing style.

Defensive midfielder Andre, who plays with his right foot, grew up idolizing the tenacious Felipe Melo, who played in Europe for Racing Santander, Almeria, Fiorentina, Juventus, Galatasaray, and Inter Milan.

The Fluminense star, however, is very different from his hero and a more technical player who plays just in front of the back four but has a wide range of passing options.

With a height of 5’7, Andre is not the tallest, but he is strong and skilled at winning tackles. Additionally, he is a strong ball carrier who excels at moving the ball into the final third. Over the past year, he has completed 1 point 7 progressive take-ons per 90 minutes.

Andre could offer the Reds something different because their squad currently lacks someone with that level of box-to-box vigor. The fact that Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota are also represented by Jorge Mendes’ agency gives the Reds an advantage in their potential pursuit of Andre.

Jurgen Klopp describes an unnoticed Liverpool youngster as “a joy to watch.”.

James McConnell made another valuable contribution against Leicester, and Jurgen Klopp praised the impact of the teenager.

McConnell has participated in all three of Liverpool’s preseason friendlies so far this summer’s second half, blending in seamlessly with the team’s more seasoned players in the midfield.

Following his team’s 4-0 victory over Leicester, Klopp praised McConnell for being a “joy to watch” and praised his versatility in moving into the No. despite having little prior expertise in that position, position no.

The manager enthusiastically praised the teen’s performance, saying: “James in the six is just a joy to watch. The boy never played in that position before, we put him there, and he throws his heart on the pitch. ”.

Despite having previously stated that this wouldn’t be the case, Klopp made significant substitutions against Leicester at halftime and completely rearranged his outfield for the second half.

McConnell and several of his peers have benefited from the opportunity the rotation has given Liverpool’s young players to express themselves and show what they can do.

Regarding the young talent in the team, Klopp expressed his excitement for the advancements being made while admonishing his team not to become overly dependent on the younger players as they continue to develop.

The young boys jumped at the opportunity to appear. I told them in the locker room about a week ago that while I’ve seen many young players throughout my career, these are unique.

We’ll see where it goes, but if these boys take center stage next season, we’ll have a problem.

“We use these boys occasionally when things are really going well, giving them space to grow between uses. ”.

One of many young players eager to make the most of their opportunities this summer and catch the manager’s attention before the new season is McConnell.

The 18-year-old, who joined from Sunderland in 2019, had 13 U18 Premier League appearances last season and contributed five goals and three assists.

There will undoubtedly be more opportunities for McConnell to showcase his skills next season as the Reds look to battle on all fronts once more, as Liverpool will begin a Europa League campaign for the first time since reaching the final in 2016.

After the transfer to Saudi Arabia was finalized, Fabinho’s wife sent a heartfelt message to Liverpool.

After five years at Liverpool, Fabinho has left the club to join Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia. His wife wrote an emotional farewell letter to the club’s supporters.

Rebeca Tavares, Fabinho’s wife, is upset about his departure from Liverpool for Saudi Arabia.

His time at Liverpool has come to an end as the Brazilian midfielder has finalized a transfer to Saudi Pro League team Al-Ittihad. Since their marriage in 2015, Fabinho and Rebeca have had one child, who was born in 2017.

After the departure was announced, Rebeca posted a sincere message on Instagram. My heart is beating quickly, she said. Since this is life and football, I wasn’t ready to say goodbye (and I still don’t).

“What a beautiful history we created here. What history this “lighthouse” has produced. A red is a red is a red is a red. Anfield, you will be known to my son.
Thank you for your support and love.
ynwa, never.
“.

The success of the team was greatly aided by Fabinho, who moved from Monaco to Liverpool in 2018. He won several trophies with the Reds during his time there, including the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, Club World Cup, and Super Cup.

From wives of other current and former Liverpool players, Rebeca’s message was warmly received. I love you guys, said Larissa Firmino, the wife of former Reds number nine Roberto Firmino. “You’re our family,” furthered Natalia Becker, who is wed to goalkeeper Alisson Becker. I appreciate you all.

I adore you guys.
“.

This summer, Fabinho and Jordan Henderson both left Liverpool for the Middle East. Steven Gerrard and former Reds captain Henderson got together at Al-Ettifaq.

29-year-old Fabinho said: “Today I leave my home. Wearing this jersey for five years has always been a source of the highest honor and joy. I’ve been welcomed by everyone at Liverpool since the first day. I felt like family in this club because of what I observed about the relationships between the patrons.

“With that jersey, I won every title a player could hope for, and in these five years, I grew as a player and a man. I won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, and the World Cup because of Liverpool. I was able to enter a stadium holding my son in my arms because of Liverpool, which was a dream come true for me.

“I played in Anfield, the best stadium in the world with the best atmosphere, all thanks to Liverpool. The biggest game of my life, the comeback victory over Barcelona, was made possible by Liverpool, and it was only possible because of Anfield. I will never forget that specific moment. I adore what this group of people stands for in the club.

“I’ve always been impressed by the club and the fans’ love affair. And I can confidently state that the song “You’ll never walk alone,” performed by our supporters after that game, was the most pivotal moment in my time with Liverpool. I genuinely love this club, and I say that with joy. We are grateful for everything we have experienced together, Reds. You’ll never walk by yourself. “.

The competition to sign “one of the best” English talent has now been won by Liverpool.

Trey Nyoni, a midfield prospect for Leicester City, is reportedly on his way to joining the Liverpool academy after the Reds reportedly beat out other teams for his signature.

The 16-year-old England youth international was signed by the Merseyside giants ahead of competing teams, according to the Secret Scout, who rate Nyoni as “one of the best” players in the nation.

Harvey Owen, a 14-year-old Wolves player, is the only significant addition to the Reds’ youth ranks this window despite Liverpool’s limited academy additions this summer.

Nyoni, a Leicester teenager who impressed with the Foxes last season in the U-18 Premier League and FA Youth Cup, could nevertheless be a significant acquisition for Liverpool.

And now the midfielder will move to Liverpool this summer, where Nyoni will be an exciting new addition to the team’s academy and a potential future senior player for Jurgen Klopp.

Trey Nyoni can achieve his full potential with Liverpool’s assistance.

Liverpool’s academy is no stranger to snagging the best and brightest players in England, and Nyoni’s signing is just one more illustration of the hard work the Reds put in behind the scenes to keep their youth ranks full.

The Merseyside giants, who have one of the best academy systems in the country and have recently produced fantastic players, could help the young midfielder realize his exciting potential.

Nyoni may not succeed Steven Gerrard, but he or she will soon be able to follow in the footsteps of Curtis Jones and Trent Alexander-Arnold and make the leap from the Liverpool academy to the senior squad, which is the goal of many young players.

The next step in Jurgen Klopp’s development involves ruthlessness, loyalty, and a task.

Although there were many possible reasons for Liverpool’s difficulties last season, many supporters preferred to concentrate on one particular factor, writes David Lynch.

They believed that neither the extended absences of Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota nor the psychological cost of narrowly missing the quadruple were significant contributors to the Reds’ poor performance.

Instead, a consensus developed around the fundamental problem being the rather abrupt and simultaneous decline of several players who had been essential to the acquisition of trophies in previous years.

We were informed that Jurgen Klopp’s lack of ruthlessness in the previous transfer windows was the sole cause of this.

This idea was primarily motivated by the belief that the midfield’s shocking collapse could have been prevented if players like Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain had been let go earlier.

It’s true that by the time that pair moved within two years of their contract expiration dates, it was quite obvious that they were both injury prone and that the manager didn’t really care for them even when they were healthy.

Unfortunately for Liverpool, that was also fairly clear to any potential suitors, which is why Keita was only able to sign a contract with Werder Bremen this summer and Oxlade-Chamberlain has yet to find a club.

In actuality, it wasn’t Klopp’s hesitation to approve a transfer earlier; rather, no clubs were lining up to sign either player off of the Reds’ hands.

In light of this, it is largely unjustifiable to claim that Klopp was ever motivated solely by loyalty and a desire to hold onto them.

However, that does not imply that the German has always been faultless in that regard.

Just two summers ago, it was his personal intervention that ensured Jordan Henderson was given a new, lucrative contract that ran until 2025, and Saudi Arabia’s recent pivot to football has only been able to save that choice.

Even so, Klopp would likely contend that if his captain had been benched sooner to begin a midfield rebuild, the quadruple push of 2021/22 would not have occurred.

The Reds’ manager may also have a case for citing this summer’s transactions as evidence that his ruthlessness is by no means lacking.

Once it became clear that Henderson would be willing to join Steven Gerrard at Al Ettifaq, there was no chance of him getting in Henderson’s way.

Additionally, despite not having any intentions to sell the Brazilian going into this summer, he did not object to Al Ittihad’s approach for another stalwart in Fabinho.

In the end, a business decision was made with clarity, one that anticipated a better long-term future for the team without the two men who had been instrumental in its recent successes.

And because of Klopp’s tendency toward loyalty, we have been told repeatedly that he cannot do that.

The Anfield trophy cabinet attests to the fact that the manager has only ever had favorites when players have consistently performed for him.

That is something that the new additions from this summer will undoubtedly learn throughout the upcoming season as they strive to establish their value on the team alongside Henderson and Fabinho.

However, if they fail to meet Klopp’s demands, they will undoubtedly discover that claims that he lacks ruthlessness are largely unfounded.

August 2, 2023
The replacement for Fabinho may already be found, according to Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool.

Before the start of the new Premier League season, Jurgen Klopp will need to fill the void left by Fabinho’s departure.

Fabinho’s replacement at Liverpool, Curtis Jones, has been mentioned by Jurgen Klopp, who was impressed with the 22-year-old at the end of the previous campaign. Fabinho, a Brazilian midfielder who spent five years with the Reds on Merseyside, announced on Monday that he would be leaving the team after a reported £40 million move to Al-Ittihad.

Jordan Henderson was sold to Al-Ettifaq a few days prior to Fabinho’s departure, leaving Liverpool worryingly short of options in the middle of the park less than a fortnight before the start of the new season. The six-time European champions will undoubtedly try to add some new players before the summer transfer window closes, but Klopp has suggested that Jones might be a surprise choice to fill the void.

The Liverpool manager stated during a press conference in Singapore that Jones is undoubtedly one of the options in the current setup and the composition of the squad. “I think it’s no secret that we are still looking for players to join us; however, using what you already have is equally important, and I think Curtis can play that position with no problem.

“Can he play it when no one else in the team is defending? No, there’s no chance, but then again, I don’t know any player who can do that. But if you truly comprehend the current state of affairs, a proven 6 is not currently available. Do we offer an explanation for this?

“A lot of things can happen during the season; this has always been true. We approach it as a challenge and work to find a solution that is nonetheless compact. With the ball in his hands, Curtis can without a doubt make a significant impact. His growth over the past few months since he’s been here, in my opinion, has been truly amazing.

“Held back by some injuries sustained at the wrong time and for too long. It’s not anyone’s fault; it just happens to young players. The steps he took prior to that were excellent. It makes sense for him to be on the field. If no one else is there, he can definitely play that position. “.

Jones played in the Premier League only 18 times last season, but the latter part of the year was arguably when he was at his best while playing for Liverpool. When Jones was given responsibility by Klopp for running the show in the backroom, he frequently excelled in the middle of the park and the Reds went on to win all 11 of their final games.

It’s unclear whether he will be able to continue where he left off when the new season starts, but Klopp’s high praise suggests that he will at least be given the chance to prove himself in Fabinho’s absence. Romeo Lavia of Southampton is rumored to be one of the players Liverpool is considering signing, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see them search the market for another midfielder.

It has always been the case that a lot can happen during the season. We consider it a challenge and work to be as compact as possible despite that. Without a doubt, Curtis can make a significant impact from that position when in possession. His growth over the past few months since he’s been with us, in my opinion, has been truly amazing.

“Held back by some accidents that happened at the wrong time and for too long. Nobody is at fault; it simply occurs with young players. He had taken some really good steps prior to that. It makes sense to have him on the field. If no one else is available, he can definitely play that position. “.

Jones only made 18 appearances in the Premier League last season, but the latter part of the year was arguably when he played his best football while playing for Liverpool. When Klopp gave Jones the responsibility of running the show in the backroom, where he frequently excelled, the Reds went on to win all 11 of their final games.

It is unclear whether he will be able to continue where he left off when the new campaign gets underway, but Klopp’s high praise suggests that he will at least be given the chance to prove himself in Fabinho’s absence. Romeo Lavia of Southampton is rumored to be one of the players Liverpool is considering when searching the transfer market for a new midfielder. However, this would not be unexpected.

August 2, 2023
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.

August 2, 2023
In light of fresh transfer “talks,” Liverpool is enhancing Man City’s $52 million plan to acquire its own Roméo Lavia.

Roméo Lavia would become Fabinho’s successor if Liverpool and Man City could quickly reach an agreement on a transfer.

If Liverpool and Man City could quickly agree on a transfer, Roméo Lavia would replace Fabinho.
If Liverpool and Manchester City can quickly come to a transfer agreement, Roméo Lavia will replace Fabinho.

If Liverpool and Man City could quickly come to terms on a transfer, Roméo Lavia would take Fabinho’s place.

If Liverpool and Man City could quickly come to a transfer agreement, Roméo Lavia would replace Fabinho.
This kind of deal might become rarer in the long run.

Creating the next great Liverpool team with Roméo Lavia at its center would be satisfying in some way. The Reds, who were a part of Manchester City’s youth program, appear set to sign on a year before their great rival’s buy-back clause goes into effect. This could leave the Etihad Stadium with long-lasting remorse.

Kevin De Bruyne, who was later deemed surplus to requirements at Chelsea, has played a significant role in Manchester City’s success over the past eight years. Lavia’s development into one of the best in the world at his position if Liverpool were to flip the script would undoubtedly hurt.

However, if Manchester City had any hesitations about selling Lavia last summer, those were easily outweighed by the amount of cash being spent. Pep Guardiola oversaw a summer of major sales for players who were far from his first team plans, which was the biggest validation yet of the club’s youth recruitment strategy.

Unexpectedly, Southampton alone signed four of Manchester City’s promising young players. Clearly, the overall strategy did not work out well, as evidenced by the Saints’ relegation to the Championship and subsequent loss of the top pick. Gavin Bazunu in particular proved to be a poor acquisition because the starting position between the sticks proved to be too much for him at this point in his career.

It won’t, however, stop teams from trying to acquire Guardiola’s young stars. Since the takeover, Manchester City has built cutting-edge facilities and hired top coaches, and the long-term plan is beginning to pay off. Meanwhile, simply being present at the club results in a reputation that drives up prices.

Sure enough, Southampton paid $52 million (£41 million/€47 million) to Manchester City last summer to acquire Juan Larios, Lavia, Bazunu, and Samuel Edozie. These are sizeable sums that give Guardiola real Financial Fair Play latitude when it comes to bolstering the first team.

However, there is an intriguing aspect to all four of these players. They were all recruited into the youth system from the academies of other clubs, so none of them are “true” Manchester City academy graduates. Larios was a product of Tomares, Sevilla, and Barcelona before joining; Edozie is a Millwall product; Lavia was developed at Andelecht; and Bazunu came from Shamrock Rovers.

Manchester City has significantly profited from these shrewd investments made early in players’ careers. There are obvious indications that Liverpool is pursuing the same strategy. Hopefully, they will improve it so that real first-team options like Lavia do not elude them.

Amara Nallo, a defender who was born in 2006 and came from the West Ham academy system, is reportedly being courted by Liverpool, according to a recent report by Fabrizio Romano. And that’s just the most recent step in an organized process.

Stefan Bajeti, who was signed before the end of the EU regulations allowing under-18s from Europe to be signed, has demonstrated how young players can be developed into first-team options rather than just moneymakers. Since then, the hugely exciting Ben Doak and Kaide Gordon have both already made a senior bow. This is thanks to a focus on the British and Irish market.

Then there are others like Trent Kone-Doherty and Bobby Clark, and further back, Harvey Elliott and Caoimhn Kelleher. The nature of this transfer policy is that it takes time to pay off, but Liverpool is on track to benefit from it.

It can later develop its own Lavia in this way. Even better, since they trained in England for three or more years before turning 21, any players who are brought through in this way will be considered homegrown. Many of Jürgen Klopp’s top players appear to have clear paths forward, even though Liverpool will inevitably follow Manchester City’s lead occasionally by cashing in and funding more first-team investment.

After Axel Disasi’s announcement, Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino may spend an additional £159 million.

Given that Mauricio Pochettino is still worried about his team, Chelsea may have a busy end to the summer transfer window.

Even though the addition of Axel Disasi will push Chelsea’s transfer expenditures well past the £100 million mark, Mauricio Pochettino may go broke between now and the end of the summer. At Stamford Bridge, improvements have been called for in the midfield, up front, and between the posts. Co-owner Todd Boehly has plenty of time to take action.

Following this week’s £38 million deal between Chelsea and Monaco, Disasi is on his way to London. The Blues have already spent a sizable sum of money this summer thanks to earlier moves for Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkunku, and Angelo.

Pochettino, however, has the ability to significantly increase Chelsea’s spending even after Disasi is revealed by securing three more targets. The most notable of these is Moises Caicedo, who Brighton has tagged with an astounding £100 million price tag.

The Blues have already had an £80 million bid for the Ecuadorian rejected. But according to reports, they have been monitoring the player’s development for months and aren’t ready to give up on him.

An additional difficulty has been added to the already tense negotiations with Brighton. As he seeks to add competition in goal, Pochettino has made Seagulls goalkeeper Robert Sanchez a target.

Kepa Arrizabalaga ended the previous season as the undisputed No. 1. To push the Spaniard next season, however, after Edouard Mendy’s move to the Saudi Pro League, there won’t be anyone to do so if no moves are made during the summer transfer window.

While Sanchez’s Transfermarkt value of £19m is nothing to laugh at, he is now available at the right price after slipping down Brighton’s pecking order. The 25-year-old’s value between the two clubs is currently said to be very different.

Dusan Vlahovic is a third potential acquisition that could bring the Blues’ post-Disasi spending to a startling £159 million. According to reports, Juventus is eager to swap Romelu Lukaku for the striker.

But in order to approve the deal, the Serie A giants also require Lukaku and at least £40 million. Although it is currently believed that the Blues have rejected the offer, they could change their minds as the window closes.

If Pochettino accepts the three in question, Chelsea would have to make significant roster cuts to satisfy him. With less than a month remaining in the summer transfer window, the Argentine has already lamented the excessive number of players at his disposal.
