Liverpool the joke of football as Romeo Lavia rejects them

What goes around, they often say comes around, and in Romeo Lavia situation, he gives Liverpool the cold finger after the Reds came running back to sign him.

The Southampton midfielder is set to join the Blues as confirmed by reports from Fabrizio Romano and David Ornstein of the Athletic.

Following the agreement to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton, Romeo Lavia is set to become Chelsea’s next signing of the summer.

The Blues are set to cough up £165m package for both players, explaining the reason Tyler Adams deal was abandoned despite the Leeds United star having completed medicals at the club.

The Belgian has agreed personal terms with Chelsea, with Southampton’s director of recruitment, Joe Shields key to the move.

Romeo Lavia communicated the decision to Southampton despite Liverpool reportedly putting up a £60m bid.

Chelsea are expected to pay £50m fixed fee plus add ons, with Chelsea set to finalize the deal today in time for the announcement of Moises Caicedo.

The West London side had reportedly planned to sign Lavia after he joined Southampton in July for £12m fee, with Chelsea’s bid of £50m rejected in August 2022.

Once again, Liverpool gets done by in the same week by Chelsea as the Caicedo-Lavia transfer saga reaches a close. A true transfer-clasico that leaves Liverpool fans hurt, and the club in a desperate situation whereby negotiations with clubs might prove tougher as it is.

The world now knows Liverpool are desperate, and the Reds should be prepared to cough considerable amount of money to land any signings for its midfield.

Reports from David Ornstein states the Merseyside side had made enquiries over the availability of Aurelien Tchouameni; a player who twice has rejected the club’s advances in favor of a move and staying put at Real Madrid.

A long season awaits Liverpool, and it appears its owners and Sporting Directors do not know how long the season might be for them.
