    According to a report, Liverpool is ready to accept a £34m fee to hijack another signing.

    The news about LAVIA that a journalist has revealed is good news for Liverpool supporters.

    Liverpool is attempting to steal Chelsea’s deal to sign Moises Caicedo, who has been primarily associated with the Blues throughout the summer. Even so, Klopp might not get his wish.

    According to the most recent Spanish reports, the Reds are ready to sabotage another deal, this time to entice Gabri Veiga, who is primarily sought after by Napoli but has also been on the radar of the Stamford Bridge team. Veiga is primarily wanted by Napoli.

    We previously reported on a CorSport report from two days ago that claimed Veiga would be open to joining the Italian champions during the summer transfer window.

    The release clause of 40 million euros (£34 point 6 million) set by Celta Vigo, however, has not been met by the Diego Armando Maradona team.

    According to a Catalan source, Nacional, the Naples club wants Veiga to replace Piotr Zielinski, who is anticipated to leave for Al-Ahli, but they have only made an offer of 30 million euros.

    The player is sought after by both Real Madrid and other clubs, according to the media, but Los Blancos plan to sign him in the coming summer.

    To activate the 21-year-old’s exit clause, however, Liverpool are now willing to accept the £34.6m fee.

    The Merseysiders are reportedly finalizing the terms of the Spaniard’s transfer to Anfield and will soon pay Rafael Benitez’s Celta Vigo £34.6 million to sign the player.

    In La Liga last season, Veiga scored 11 goals and contributed four assists. He is a creative talent who can play anywhere in central midfield and could eventually take the place of fellow countryman Thiago Alcantara.

    A contract extension for the 33-year-old Spanish maestro with Liverpool, whose current contract is set to expire next year, is extremely unlikely (Goal).

    The news about LAVIA that a journalist has revealed is good news for Liverpool supporters.

    Romeo Lavia's price tag of £50 million is now what Southampton is expecting Liverpool to match. According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, that is the case.
    Romeo Lavia’s price tag of £50 million is now what Southampton is expecting Liverpool to match.

    According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, that is the case.

    Earlier this week, Southampton reportedly turned down Liverpool’s £45 million bid for Romeo Lavia.

    Since then, though, Tavolieri has asserted that Southampton thinks the Reds will eventually raise their offer by an additional £5 million to satisfy their demand.

    The journalist wrote on Twitter, “Been told Southampton FC think now that Liverpool FC will pay the £5m lacking for making the deal of Romeo Lavia after the £45m [proposal]] rejected on Monday.

    Romeo Lavia's price tag of £50 million is now what Southampton is expecting Liverpool to match. According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, that is the case.
    Romeo Lavia deal has cost Liverpool a lot of time.

    The fact that Southampton wanted £50 million for Lavia has been fairly obvious for a while. Furthermore, Liverpool ought to have just made the £50 million offer to close the deal if they were prepared to make the £45 million bid for the Belgian, which has been demonstrated to be the case.

    Due to Jurgen Klopp’s lack of options in midfield, they face Chelsea this Sunday at Stamford Bridge, which will be a challenging match.

    In the end, it’s impossible to escape the impression that the Reds could have handled this situation better. The most crucial thing, however, is that they succeed in getting Lavia through the door, which they appear to have a good chance of doing.

    Liverpool needs to add another midfielder because they have lost a lot of them this summer, including Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, who both recently left Anfield.

    It appears that the top of the Premier League will see another competitive season with so many high-caliber teams in England at the moment.

    Klopp’s team has a good chance of finishing in the top four and qualifying for Europe’s elite competition, though, if they can solve their midfield problem and Mohamed Salah keeps doing what he’s doing.

    Report: £43 million star rejects Newcastle and would take Liverpool job.

    The news about LAVIA that a journalist has revealed is good news for Liverpool supporters.

    Italia star Federico Chiesa’s future at Juventus is uncertain, and Liverpool has been mentioned as a possible destination this summer.

    We previously reported on a rumor that the Reds are interested in luring the Italian international away from the Bianconeri (via La Gazzetta Dello Sport).

    Several Premier League teams have made Chiesa offers, but he has so far rejected them all, according to today’s edition of Corriere dello Sport (news image provided below).

    The Rome-based media outlet reports that clubs like Newcastle and Aston Villa offered the Italian international the chance to relocate to England.

    Al Hilal and Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia also offered the playmaker, 25, opportunities, but none of them persuaded him.

    According to CdS, Chiesa prefers Liverpool and would accept a move there, but the Merseysiders have not yet made an effort to secure his services.

    The attacking star currently prefers to remain with Juventus. Due to severe financial difficulties, The Old Lady would like to sell the former Viola star for a price of 50 million euros (£43 million).

    The manager, Max Allegri, would prefer to use him in the strike-force in a 3-5-2 system, though, if he does decide to remain in Turin.

    Romelu Lukaku, a former Chelsea and Inter Milan forward, is wanted by the Italian manager so that he can team him up front with Federico Chiesa.

    Liverpool added attackers like Gakpo, Nunez, and Diaz in the previous three transfer windows, so they are not required to spend additional funds to bolster the offense.

    Liverpool makes a move to overcome the first of two "hurdles" in the race to sign Gabri Viega
    Liverpool are still looking for at least one more midfielder after the arrival of Alexis Mac Allister.

    Liverpool have reportedly made their first attempt to sign Gabri Veiga from Celta Vigo with a ‘substantial offer’, but that’s only half of what it takes to clinch a deal.

    It was a quick start to the transfer window for Liverpool as they secured Alexis Mac Allister in a deal worth £35m.

    However, more midfield signings are expected following the departure of James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as free agents.

    A host of names have been linked with Anfield, including Khephren Thuram, Manu Kone, Ryan Gravenberch and Nicolo Barella. Talks are said to be taking place behind the scenes, but Jurgen Klopp wants new signings early in the pre-season.

    The Liverpool players are expected to return early next month before heading to Germany for a training camp.

    Liverpool makes a move to overcome the first of two "hurdles" in the race to sign Gabri ViegaBringing in at least one midfielder will be a priority for Klopp and Viega could be Liverpool’s main target. According to Mundo Deportivo, Liverpool have offered Veiga a contract worth around £95,000 a week

    It has been suggested the deal would attract the talented Spanish midfielder, but meeting his contractual requirements isn’t the only “hurdle” Liverpool face.

    The report also points out that Veiga’s buyout clause with Celta Vigo is apparently non-negotiable.

    Liverpool need to raise the transfer fee by £34m to start talks on a deal for Veiga. It is also noted that the fees must be paid in full and not in installments via add-ons.

    Liverpool appear to have the budget to meet Celta’s demands but they aren’t the only ones interested in the 21-year-old. Part of Liverpool’s interest in Veiga will come from his goalscoring skills in midfield, as he netted 11 times last season.

    Klopp hasn’t had a goal threat in the position in recent years, with Harvey Elliott the only midfielder to score more than three goals last season.

    The greatest attacking pressure was on Liverpool talent in the forward positions. But Veiga is seen as the type of player who can bridge the gap between midfield and attack.

    Liverpool transfer news: ‘perfect’ Alexis Mac Allister partner discovered; $33 million price agreed

    Liverpool transfer news: 'perfect' Alexis Mac Allister partner discovered; $33 million price agreed
    Liverpool Transfer News: The Reds have found a partner for Alexis Mac Allister, but it won’t be cheap. The asking price of another lens has been accepted.

    Liverpool are entering uncharted territory. By this point last year, all summer transfer matters had been completed apart from the panicked battle to sign Arthur Melo on loan. And while that was a particularly successful period, it was an indication of how both Jürgen Klopp and FSG like to do business.

    For the owners, this means there will be no price increase as the buyer of the clubs is desperate. For Klopp, that means a full pre-season to work with newcomers, which seems particularly important as Liverpool look to rebuild. However, the transfer market is currently a series of dominoes just waiting to fall, so patience is required.

    Of course, Liverpool managed to get Alexis Mac Allister through the door early, using a release clause to secure genuine transfer activity. However, there has been little movement since then and there is a feeling the club are biding their time.

    Some interesting players could undoubtedly be signed relatively quickly – Gabri Veiga, for example, also has a release clause, albeit with more suitors in place – but Liverpool appear to be keeping their options open. One possibility is that he’s waiting to see if the marquee name Nicolò Barella becomes available, and there’s more on that today.

    Here is Liverpool.com’s verdict on the market gossip surrounding the Reds today

    Nicolò Barella (Inter)

    Liverpool transfer news: 'perfect' Alexis Mac Allister partner discovered; $33 million price agreed
    In the wake of a report from Italy’s Gazetta Dello Sport attributing a legitimate interest in Barella to Liverpool, the Independent has now taken a stand.

    Miguel Delaney says Newcastle are currently considering alternatives, with a large gap in ratings between the two clubs. Inter Milan are pitching nearly $102m (£80m/€93m), with the Magpies around $38m short of that amount.

    Liverpool are “also interested” in the player and see him as “exactly what they want in a second midfielder to complement Alexis Mac Allister”. However, she also believes that the price is currently “far too high”.

    Liverpool.com says: It’s a real dilemma. Inter need to sell players and the pressure could increase as the transfer window progresses depending on whether or not they can offload lesser assets. But the longer Liverpool wait, the less certainty Klopp will have in pre-season – especially as there is no guarantee he will beat Newcastle.

    Meanwhile, other legitimate targets, such as Veiga or Khéphren Thuram, may have moved elsewhere. It’s a real balancing act. But given Barella’s star quality, Liverpool would certainly be justified in waiting a little longer than usual with transfers.

    Sofia Amrabat (Fiorentina)

    Liverpool transfer news: 'perfect' Alexis Mac Allister partner discovered; $33 million price agreed
    There is also another midfielder under the eyes of both Liverpool and Newcastle. Like Barella, he’s someone who hasn’t really been on the radar for a while. Sofyan Amrabat was a rising World Cup star, which led to links with Liverpool. But things have cooled off since his return to Fiorentina.

    However, according to TuttoMercato correspondent Giacomo Iacobellis on Twitter, both Liverpool and Newcastle are willing to match the Italian side’s valuation of $33m (£26m/€30m). As it stands, no other team is willing to pay this much, even if the player’s personal preference remains Barcelona or Atlético Madrid.

    Liverpool.com says: Liverpool tend to go for players who are completely sold on a move, and won’t beg Amrabat to pick Anfield over a move to Spain. However, it is interesting that his name has reappeared.

    Importantly, if there is any truth to the report, it means a slightly more conservative presence in midfield could still be on Liverpool’s radar. Despite his defensive performances at the World Cup, he’s not really a number six, but he has the qualities that would allow him to play deeper – like Manu Koné who is also linked with him.

    The latter has better defensive strength and would actually be a more attractive choice overall. But if Liverpool are still looking for someone who is really comfortable as a defensive midfielder and could replace Fabinho, it would be a welcome development.
