Liverpool are unlikely to make a transfer for Southampton’s Romeo Lavia this summer time because the Reds have prioritised different midfield targets forward of the highly-rated teenager.
The 19-year-old had a powerful marketing campaign within the Premier League this season regardless of taking part in with a struggling Southampton facet that ended up getting relegated.
That earned the Belgian a whole lot of consideration heading into the summer time switch window and one crew that has been linked to the Southampton star has been Liverpool.
Nevertheless, switch journalist Jacque Talbot has acknowledged {that a} transfer for Lavia is unlikely as Jurgen Klopp is extra inclined to maneuver for 2 of his different prime targets – Borussia Monchengladbach’s Manu Kone and Good’s Khephren Thuram.
Will Romeo Lavia to Liverpool occur this summer time?
Talking to Empire of the Kop about Liverpool’s midfield targets, Talbot acknowledged in regards to the Reds signing Lavia: “I believe with Lavia, there’s an admiration for him.
“We broke the preliminary curiosity in late March, we heard a suggestion (Southampton need £50m as their asking worth – it received’t be that, it will likely be nearer to £40m, perhaps even lower than that) that Tyler Morton may very well be bought to Southampton to subsidise the general price.”
The journalist continued with: “Liverpool usually tend to get Thuram and Kone than Lavia at this level – that will be my guess.
“There’s actually curiosity there, although. The one motive I say I suppose is that, with such a pivotal season developing, I ponder if Lavia’s expertise would possibly dissuade them. Saying that, he has had a very good Premier League season, he’s been the star performer for Southampton, regardless of them being relegated. He’s great, however as of listening to any extra – nothing not too long ago.”
