As Jurgen Klopp continues to rebuild the Reds’ engine room this summer, journalist Florian Plettenburg has provided an update on Liverpool’s pursuit of Romeo Lavia. To revamp their midfield, the team has already signed Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai during this transfer window.
Liverpool is still engaged in negotiations with the desired midfielder.
Lavia is good at managing Reds’ interest.
The 19-year-old midfielder was the subject of an initial £40 million bid from Southampton, who reportedly turned it down. Saints manager Russell Martin said the player is “really well” handling the situation.
The “sensational midfielder” and former Manchester City star played in the team’s most recent preseason match, which Saints dropped 3-2 to Bournemouth.
When questioned about how he handled the Liverpool public interest, Martin responded, “It’s extremely tough. He did a great job of handling things.
The simplest thing in the world, in my opinion, would be to announce that one is not playing tonight or to show up and not offer everything one has, as he did.
