If we look at Manchester United or Arsenal, Liverpool is looking as a cash-strapped, modest club in the current transfer window. But, if we look at the cold hard facts (or numbers in this case), they have already spent 112,000,000 euros on the transfers of Alexis McAllister (42,000,000) and Dominik Szoboszlai (70,000,000). Coach Jurgen Klopp is aware that in the coming season, regardless of the fact that the Reds will not compete in the Champions League, a new defensive midfielder is a necessity, and Liverpool tried to apply the Brighton – McAlister scheme to the transfer of Romeo Lavia. The Reds offered Southampton almost the same amount, but the Saints flatly refused 43,000,000 euros.🚨 BREAKING: Southampton have turned down a bid of £37M for Romeo Lavia but have returned with a counter offer to Liverpool according to reports. pic.twitter.com/op6CILi2l5— DaveOCKOP (@DaveOCKOP) July 25, 2023 The new member of the Championship needs to offload some first team members in order to adapt the wage bill to the life in the second tier, but they want to earn as much as possible from those sales. Especially since the young Belgian is considered a future star, so their demand is around 60 million euros. If they really want him, Liverpool will have to come close or equal the club’s record for spending on a midfielder, which is 60,000,000 spent on Naby Keita.Used to be love, but it’s over now: Carvalho claims he doesn’t speak with KloppBecause of the departures of Keita, Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Arthur Melo, and the imminent departures of captain Jordan Henderson and Fabinho (although the Brazilian’s transfer to Al Ittihad was delayed due to disagreements in the financial offer and demand), Liverpool must look for adequate replacements. If both Henderson and Fabinho end up in Saudi Arabia, Stefan Bajcetic, Kurtis Jones and Thiago Alcantara will remain at Anfield alongside the newly arrived McAlister. Not a strong midfield to attack the Premier League. Former L’pool winger reveals: “I was more scared of Gerrard than of the gaffer”Liverpool already have the green light from Lavia, a talented Belgian who made 29 appearances in the Premier League last season, and 35 in all competitions with one goal and one assist each. Last summer, Southampton brought him from Manchester City for 12,300,000 euros, and a year later, according to the specialized Transfermarkt, his market value is 32,000,000, but the Saints want to sell him for five times the money invested.##NAJAVA_MECA_7390160##
