Liverpool Football Club is reportedly directing its attention towards the acquisition of Southampton’s promising midfielder Roméo Lavia, as revealed by Sacha Tavolieri’s report. The Reds are actively seeking a defensive midfielder to complete their midfield overhaul. They have already secured the signatures of Alexis Mac Allister, the Argentine 2022 World Cup winner from Brighton and Hove Albion, and Dominik Szoboszlai, the Hungarian international from RB Leipzig, in a combined deal worth €110 million.
The arrival of Szoboszlai seems to have altered Liverpool’s pursuit of Nice midfielder Khéphren Thuram. It is reported that the club’s recruitment department has decided against progressing with a move for the French international. As a result, Liverpool will not engage in transfer talks with OGC Nice this week. Reports from Foot Mercato and L’Equipe had suggested that Bayern Munich was also vying for the youngest son of France’s legendary defender, Lilian Thuram.
Liverpool Turns Attention to Roméo Lavia for Midfield Reinforcement
With the trail for Thuram going cold, Liverpool is now set to intensify their efforts to secure the services of Roméo Lavia. According to Tavolieri, talks between Liverpool and the player’s representatives are progressing positively. The club has been informed about Southampton’s asking price for Lavia and will seek to negotiate a lower transfer fee.
Liverpool’s pursuit of Roméo Lavia signifies their commitment to revamping their midfield options. The club aims to bring in talented young players who can contribute to their future success. As negotiations continue, Liverpool fans will eagerly anticipate further developments in their quest to shape a formidable squad for the upcoming season.
