Liverpool ‘expect’ to strike a deal for midfielder Romeo Lavia and the ‘beast’ from Southampton are reportedly interested in a move to Anfield.

Lavia has been linked with Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool this summer following his impressive performances in his first season for Southampton.

Last week, a report said Liverpool had cooled their interest in Lavia as there was “no void to fill” in their squad, but that could change soon with Thiago Alcantara being linked with a move to Galatasaray.

Turkish publication Fanatik (via Sport Witness) report that Galatasaray chairman Erden Timur has held talks with the Spaniard over a move and made a “very good offer” which Thiago hailed.

The report adds that “Timur has also been in talks with Liverpool to find out the terms necessary to sign the former Barcelona star in this window.” Fabrizio Romano said on Friday that Liverpool believe they can “find a way” to bring in Lavia using “a creative formula”.

Southampton rejected a £50m offer for Lavia from Chelsea last summer, having previously signed the teenager from Manchester City for £11m.

Saints allegedly wanted the same fee for Lavia who had been relegated to the Championship, but The Sun recently said they had reduced his price to £40m in a bid to encourage potential suitors.

Liverpool would be willing to pay that price for the midfielder who he sees as “a beast who can break up the game, seal the space in which the opposition operate and lay the foundations for the team’s attacking play”.

Chelsea are still eyeing the Belgian international as a possible alternative to Moises Caicedo, for whom Brighton want Declan Rice’s money. Caicedo admitted this week that he is enjoying the transfer speculation, although he insists he “knows how to handle it.”

“It’s a very big emotion,” Caicedo told Maria Jose Flores. “What man wouldn’t want to be talked about about him?”

“I know how to deal with it. I don’t get carried away by emotions. I am enjoying the time with my family for now. There is pressure, but I am calm. I await God’s decision. He will know what is best for me.

According to report:Liverpool ready to close quick signing of £26m-£34m play breaker

To begin their new Premier League season under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool will play Chelsea away from home in just over ten days.

With only two additions and five departures in the midfield, it will be fair to say that the Reds haven’t been able to adequately strengthen the team thus far.

The Merseysiders must expeditiously finalize a deal for a playmaker to replace Fabinho, and reports suggest that Fluminense’s Andre might be the one to replace his compatriot at Anfield.

According to UOL, the Brazilian team would prefer to keep their prized asset until December before selling it for a sum of roughly 25 to 30 million euros.

However, as claims that Liverpool are willing to swiftly complete the signing of the Selecao player during the current transfer window.

The renowned Spanish news outlet reported that the South American club would demand a fee of £26m-£34m (30-40 million euros) if they had to offload the defensive midfielder this summer.

After Andre, there are other Premier League teams besides the six-time European champions.

The media outlet based in Madrid reports that Fulham is also trying to sign him and that they even had a bid of 20 million euros rejected during the winter transfer window.

Romeo Lavia, a former DM for Manchester City, is still rumored to be interested in joining Liverpool, despite Southampton making no concessions.

Russell Martin has acknowledged that Liverpool’s pursuit of Romeo Lavia is “dragging on” this summer. Russell, we agree with you completely!

The Reds have already had two offers for the 19-year-old rejected, so in the interim, as negotiations with Southampton stalemate, they have turned their attention to Fluminense’s Andre.

The two clubs continue to place different values on the player, despite the fact that This Is Anfield is aware that personal terms have been reached with Lavia to join Liverpool.

Martin was asked about the futures of both Lavia and fellow midfielder James Ward-Prowse. He responded, “If they’re both not here at some point or one of them isn’t, it will be because the club and the player have both had something that is beneficial for everyone.

“I believe that is why it has taken so long so far, and I believe it might take even longer.

Andre “wants” to move to Liverpool, and there was no Caicedo offer today.

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.

Before Jürgen Klopp can believe that Liverpool’s team is in the position it needs to be to challenge at the top, there are still a few transfer-related tasks that need to be completed.

Liverpool still has work to do in the transfer market as the countdown to the start of the new Premier League season continues. Jürgen Klopp would prefer to bring in three or four more players after only signing Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai so far.

According to Sky Sports, Liverpool has started talking to 22-year-old André Trindade of Fluminense. Two bids have already been made for Roméo Lavia, who is still a target.

One addition is almost certainly insufficient if it is a younger option, but combining those two acquisitions could be a strong combination for Liverpool. Lavia, for instance, is just 19 years old and has played in the Premier League for just one season. If someone else (like André) was coming in January, it would almost be risk-justifiable to bring him in alone.

According to the Brazilian publication UOL, Fluminense is hesitant to sell for another six months because it wants to keep its midfielder until after its season is over.

Levi Colwill, an accomplished English center-back, has reportedly signed a new six-year contract with Chelsea, so it is no longer a secret that he won’t be leaving the club this summer. Liverpool must find a different defensive solution if Colwill is unable to do so.

On the left side of the defense, where Virgil van Dijk has been named the new club captain, there is currently no suitable backup option, and on the right side, there is a significant drop-off between Ibrahima Konaté and Jol Matip.

It is crucial to get that position right because Trent Alexander-Arnold’s hybrid role, which involves pushing into midfield, puts pressure on the right-sided option. Konaté is as close to being perfect for it as it is possible to get at his best, but he cannot play every minute and does have a propensity to sustain injuries.

Liverpool is most interested in acquiring a left-sided defender, but it is unclear who that player will be. Colwill is no longer an option, so perhaps some other names will now surface.

All of these adjustments would have been made if the world were perfect. It would be impossible to integrate a new holding midfielder before the team’s season-opening match against Chelsea, which is coming up soon.

But getting someone in that position through the door before that will have a significant impact on how well Liverpool performs this season. The rest of the team appears exciting if you get it right. If you make a mistake, Alisson Becker may have a busier time than usual and may concede a lot of goals.

The arrival of new players is important, so having Lavia and André in midfield would be ideal. Despite Fluminense’s desire to keep the latter, Spanish media outlet AS reports that Liverpool could still force the transfer by offering a higher price.

The alternative to losing Thiago Alcântara next summer at the end of his contract would be to sign Lavia now and André in January, but doing so might cause some short-term discomfort in the interim.

It is imperative to sign another defender once the midfield has been stabilized. To avoid overtaxing Van Dijk and Konaté, that must take place. Liverpool has previously shown that when there aren’t enough good options, things can fall apart very quickly.

In light of everything, it is still true that at least three more signings would be ideal. In an ideal scenario, two defenders could be brought on to strengthen that part of the field, but that might be too many defenders in too little time.

Because of this, the Liverpool team from here would resemble something like this:.

Goalkeepers: Alisson, Kelleher, and Adrián are the goalies.

Defenders: Alexander-Arnold, Bradley, Konaté, Van Dijk, Matip, Gomez, Matip, new addition, Robertson, and Tsimikas.

Midfield: Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Lavia, André, Jones, Elliott, Thiago, Bajéti, and Morton  (along with young players like Bobby Clark who may play if they are selected).

Attacking players include: Salah, Gakpo, Dz, Nez, and Jota (along with any young players who will play, like Ben Doak).

André, a potential Roméo Lavia replacement, has been “sold” to Anfield, but a transfer for the Southampton star may still happen in the future.

Jordan Henderson and Fabinho’s departures from Liverpool took some time for the club to formally announce, but they have both since left. The focus must quickly shift to bringing in new players with less than two weeks until the start of the new season.

Roméo Lavia has long been cited as Liverpool’s top target for the number six position, but a second offer was turned down by Southampton, according to Sky Sports. In light of this, the team may consider alternatives, with Brazilian midfielder André the most recent to surface.

His position on a potential move to Anfield is becoming more apparent. Despite a delay in agreeing on a transfer fee, the Lavia pursuit is not over.

Liverpool must, of course, indicate when it is ready to give up. However, the sporting director of Southampton has provided some insight into his own team’s stance during the transfer window, and it gives a hint over the potential timeline for any Lavia move.

André the Flamingo.

Liverpool has established “official contact” with Fluminense regarding André after receiving yet another rejection from Southampton regarding Lavia. According to Sky Sports’ Melissa Reddy, that is.

The outlet also asserts that a $25 million (£20 million/€23 million) fee has been proposed. However, André himself is said to be “sold” on the idea of moving to Liverpool. There is still no agreement between the clubs because Fluminense is reluctant to lose the midfielder at all.

André and Lavia are by no means the same players, according to Liverpool .

Given that the report states that Jürgen Klopp would “ideally” still sign two midfielders and a defender before the transfer window closes, there’s a chance Liverpool could sign both.

Actually, that ought to be a requirement rather than a goal because otherwise Liverpool runs the risk of running out of players in the wake of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho’s departures. However, there is no reason a riskier signing, such as bringing André from South America, should not count as one of the arrivals.

Roméo Lavia (Southamm).

It is understandable that some people are concerned about the delay in a deal for Lavia. An admission from the Southampton sporting director, however, has come to light and could provide some insight into how the transfer process might proceed.

According to Jason Wilcox’s forecast, some Saints players may begin the season in the Championship before finalizing transfers:, according to the Daily Echo.

There will be players who join us at the beginning of the season but depart later in the window, and managing such situations is very difficult for both the manager and the players, as well as for the players’ families and agents, according to Wilcox.

Sheffield Wednesday will be Southampton’s first Championship opponent on Friday. Liverpool doesn’t appear to need to be concerned that Lavia is involved.

To be approved this summer, any transfer must be a “win-win,” Wilcox did issue a warning. The success of Liverpool’s bids in achieving that goal is still up in the air.

The pursuit of Lavia should hopefully not take too long because that could affect Liverpool’s own preparations, according to Liverpool .
com.
In fact, Klopp has already been using improvised options at number six throughout the entire preseason, so it’s far from ideal.

Liverpool must be prepared to wait since Southampton appears to be willing to do so. Since Stefan Bajeti is expected to return from injury soon, there are at least some workable options in the Fabinho position for the time being, and this contract is ultimately for the long term.

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.
