Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Liverpool is intensifying their pursuit of young Belgian midfielder Romeo Lavia. The Premier League giants are preparing to submit a second bid, edging closer to Southampton’s £50 million valuation for the talented prospect.
Lavia, who has been on Jurgen Klopp’s radar for some time, has emerged as the top priority for Liverpool as they seek to bolster their midfield. The 19-year-old’s impressive performances have caught the eye of the Anfield management, and Klopp sees him as a player who can significantly strengthen the team’s midfield options.
Despite previous hesitance to meet the substantial asking price for Lavia, the recent departure of Fabinho has created the necessary financial flexibility for Liverpool. With funds made available from Fabinho’s sale, the Reds are now prepared to make a more substantial offer to secure the services of the highly-rated youngster.
Additionally, Klopp is also keen on reinforcing Liverpool’s defensive line, indicating his ambitions to strengthen multiple areas of the squad in preparation for the upcoming season.
