According to Crickex App, Liverpool’s transfer activity is far from over after securing Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. While those two arrived via release clause deals, the next signing may not be as straightforward. The Reds are now eyeing Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia, and the young powerhouse is reportedly eager to make the switch to Anfield. After an impressive debut season at Southampton, Lavia has attracted interest from top Premier League clubs including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool.

Last week, Liverpool appeared to cool their pursuit of Lavia, believing they had no immediate need for another midfielder. However, with Thiago Alcântara now linked to a potential move to Galatasaray, Crickex App reports that the situation could change quickly. Galatasaray’s president, Dursun Özbek, is said to have made a solid offer and held direct talks with the Spanish veteran, who is open to the move. If Thiago departs, Liverpool believes they can sign Lavia through a creative financial structure, and insiders suggest the deal is now expected to happen.

Back in the previous summer window, Southampton rejected a last-minute bid from Chelsea for Lavia, having just signed him from Manchester City. Now relegated to the Championship, the Saints are still hoping to command a similar fee for the 19-year-old to spark competition among suitors. Liverpool is reportedly willing to match that price, viewing Lavia as a midfield enforcer—someone who can break up plays, block passing lanes, and build up attacks from deep. He has shown great composure even under intense pressure, making him a standout target for Klopp’s system.

The competition, however, remains fierce. Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester City are also circling, making it unlikely the deal will close quickly. Crickex App reports that Chelsea continues to monitor the Belgian closely as a potential alternative to Moisés Caicedo. Brighton, on the other hand, is keen to cash in on Caicedo to fund a deal for Declan Rice. Meanwhile, Caicedo himself has admitted he enjoys the buzz around his name but insists he knows how to stay grounded amid transfer speculation.

In short, Lavia’s future hangs in the balance, but the door to Anfield remains wide open—if Liverpool can act fast and fend off the competition.
