According to Sky Sports, the latest sign shows that Liverpool is open to welcome the next rookie

After parting ways with Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, Liverpool want to add a midfielder this summer. The Kop hopes to recruit Southampton’s Romeo Lavia, but this is an extremely difficult deal.

The Anfield team has closed 3 offers to the Championship club. The latest offer hits the £46 million mark, but The Saints are still not satisfied with that figure. Southampton are determined to stand their ground when they want to receive a fee of £ 50 million.

In the context of Liverpool still struggling to find a way to convince a partner, the latest information shows that Lavia is likely to leave. Sky Sports have confirmed the 19-year-old was not in Southampton’s squad when they met Gillingham in the Carabao Cup.

Lavia will not play in the Carabao Cup for Southampton

According to Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Lavia also missed training in the morning, with the player’s agent looking to close the deal today. This information raised suspicions that the former Manchester City star broke up with the host club when Liverpool was flirting with him.

If Lavia plays in the first round of the Carabao Cup against Gillingham, he will not be eligible for the next matches in this arena for Liverpool in the 2023/24 season.
