According to reports, Liverpool find themselves in a four-way race to secure the services of Romeo Lavia.
Football Insider via ECHO has stated that the Reds are actively pursuing Romeo Lavia from Southampton, who may consider a move following their relegation to the Championship.
The competition for Lavia’s signature is fierce, with Manchester City holding a buy-back option that could become active next summer. However, these recent reports suggest that City is contemplating an early move to preempt Liverpool’s interest in the player.
In addition to Liverpool and Manchester City, Chelsea has also expressed interest in securing a potential deal for Lavia. The London club is monitoring the situation closely and may make a move to bolster their squad with the talented midfielder. The Blues also are in need of a midfield reinforcement, just like Liverpool.
Completing the quartet of interested clubs is Arsenal. The Gunners have also entered the race for Lavia’s signature, showing their intent to strengthen their midfield options ahead of the upcoming season.
As negotiations progress, Liverpool will need to navigate the challenges posed by their rivals, including Manchester City, Chelsea, and Arsenal. The competition between these clubs will undoubtedly add further excitement to the transfer saga surrounding the defensive midfielder.
The 19-year-old Belgian international has 35 appearances across all competitions and following the relegation of Southampton to the Championship, he could stand available on a cut-price deal for the Reds.
Ultimately, securing the talented midfielder’s signature would be a significant coup for Liverpool as they continue to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season and beyond.
With a number of clubs showing interest in the player, Liverpool should remain quick in their pursuit of Lavia to ensure that their deal isn’t hijacked.
