Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp is “in contact” with HUGE midfield signing
By Kian Long
Liverpool are active in the transfer window. While it’s not often their approach to seek extravagant and expensive signings, Jurgen Klopp has been forced into compiling a shortlist of worthy replacements. Given the imminent departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, more midfielders must be signed.
The two experienced midfielders are set to leave Anfield to sign for the Saudi Pro League. It’s not the end of the world for Liverpool, though, as they were likely to be rotational players and weren’t exactly in the best form of their career anyway. As long as a ready-to-go replacement is signed as soon as possible, fans can call this good business.
Liverpool are still in contact with Romeo Lavia
According to Football Insider, Liverpool remain in contact with Romeo Lavia. Further, the report claims that a conclusion is aiming to be reached by the end of the month. Lavia is one of the most sought after midfielders given Southampton’s relegation, so Liverpool hope to be efficient in their negotiations to sign him.
Lavia is an exceptional midfielder and was certainly Southampton’s diamond in the rough last season. He has experience within the Premier League and would certainly be a great addition to the team which Jurgen Klopp is aiming to build.
Liverpool, they keep working on Romeo Lavia. Nothing is advanced in terms of bids or club to club negotiations – still, contacts are taking place with the player’s agents and they are trying to understand the final price tag.

The Reds play in the Europa League next season, which is a step up to what Lavia is used to. However, as a young player with ambition, I’m certain that Lavia will thrive given the opportunity to play in European football.
