Romeo Lavia of Southampton has been being watched by Liverpool, and the most recent sources suggest that a deal is imminent.

The Merseysiders were ready to make an offer of approximately £40 million for the 19-year-old defensive midfielder, according to a report from Football Insider earlier this month.

According to a news report from today, Liverpool is considering hiring him and is willing to pay somewhat more than £40 million.

The best thing is that Jurgen Klopp has been able to win the player’s approval, which makes him keen to bring the Belgian international to Anfield.

Now, all that is left is to agree a fee with the Saints, who are demanding £50million for their prized asset.

Renowned media outlets like The Daily Mail and The Guardian have reported the valuation of £45million this month.

Liverpool are set to receive around £40million and £12million from the sales of Fabinho and skipper, Jordan Henderson, respectively.

Romeo Lavia’s purchase by the Reds may potentially be completed shortly, but it will be perplexing if they are only able to recruit one young player in favor of two of the team’s most seasoned midfielders.

Lavia is tremendously skilled, but he is more of a long-term solution than a short-term one. As a result, a veteran No. 6 must be signed, ideally before the start of the new Premier League season next month.
