Romeo Lavia: Liverpool have third bid for midfielder rejected by Southampton

Liverpool’s attempts to secure the services of Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia have hit a stumbling block as their third bid for the 19-year-old Belgian has been turned down. The most recent offer, which included add-ons, was valued at around £46m, falling short of Southampton’s desired price of £50m.

Lavia, who moved to Southampton from Manchester City last year for £10.5m, had an active season, making 34 appearances across various competitions. Unfortunately, despite his efforts, Southampton couldn’t avoid relegation from the Premier League to the Championship.

Liverpool’s pursuit of Lavia comes as they aim to bolster their midfield following the departures of Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain during the summer. In their efforts to strengthen the midfield, Liverpool already acquired the World Cup-winning midfielder Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton for an initial fee of £35m in June and brought in Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig for £60m in July.

Despite their continued interest in Lavia, Liverpool will have to reassess their approach and possibly increase their bid if they hope to secure the talented young midfielder’s signature.
