Reporter Fabrizio Romano updated notable information about a potential transfer of Liverpool.
When Liverpool let go of James Milner, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, or most recently, Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, their midfield underwent a significant change.
Romeo Lavia of Southampton is seen as a major target for The Kop’s personnel expansion efforts after they were successful in luring Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. Liverpool reportedly gave Southampton two proposals totaling 37 and 42 million pounds, respectively, but Southampton hasn’t accepted them yet.
Sharing on the Here We Go podcast quoted by Paisley Gates, journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed a reasonable fee for Liverpool in this deal: “Southampton has asked for £ 50 million for Romeo Lavia’s services. Liverpool. submitted an initial offer of £37m, after which they raised the price to £42m.
“Liverpool have tried however, I think they should put in extra effort and prepare some other money for Lavia. Then we will wait for Southampton’s reaction. From Liverpool’s point of view, I think they believe 45 million pounds or less could be a reasonable price for them to recruit Lavia.”
Romano believes that Liverpool only need to spend an additional £ 3 million, meaning changing the offer from £ 42 to £ 45 million will get Southampton’s nod.
