Liverpool are reportedly eager to sign Romeo Lavia before the start of pre-season, with the bulk of Jurgen Klopp’s side due to return later this week.
According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the Reds are putting all their focus and energy into completing a deal for the Southampton midfielder, with Liverpool identifying Lavia as their next transfer target after announcing the signing of Dominik Szoboszlai on Sunday.
A key detail from this update is that Liverpool want Lavia through the door in time for the first summer training camp, which is due to start this Saturday ahead of pre-season fixtures in Germany and Singapore, with Southampton hoping to recoup £40m for the midfielder.
Indeed, with Liverpool setting a limited timeframe on when they want Lavia signed, progress could be accelerated greatly in the coming days. With a potential deal in place by this weekend an incredible exciting prospect for many supporters.
Liverpool were quick off the mark to sign Szoboszlai last week. And now it appears that the Reds will look to repeat their magic in the transfer market with Lavia, who could be another incredible capture if the Anfield side can beat the clock and bring the midfielder to Merseyside by this weekend
As we know, getting the majority of the summer business done in time for pre-season can set a club up for a fantastic campaign. And for Liverpool, adding Lavia alongside Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister before heading out to Germany and Singapore could be a masterstroke from the Premier League side.
