Liverpool remain invested in adding to their midfield as they patch up the wounds left due by an unexpected summer exodus. Arsenal are also looking to add more recruits to the roster but they must first look at players to offload so they can raise some extra cash.
Liverpool continue their pursuit of Southampton’s Roméo Lavia as they scramble to plug the gaps left by Jordan Henderson and Fabinho this window. The Reds have been in pole position to sign him for some time now and according to Fabrizio Romano, the Saints star has given the ‘green light’ towards the move, the clubs just have to agree on the fee.
Liverpool have tabled a £42 million offer for Lavia, which is still just shy of the £50 million the Championship side want. Their bid has been knocked back, as expected, and there is the risk of other clubs now sliding in to hijack the move.
The 3AM verdict: Liverpool really can’t afford to be playing hard ball right now — they’re in a tough situation and need numbers in their engine room. Henderson, Fabinho and James Milner have all left and only Stefan Bajcetic remains who is a natural defensive midfielder.
Signing Lavia will be a positive step in the right direction but every club and player has their limit. It’s clear Southampton will not budge on their £50m asking price, so the Reds need to accept that and pay it or they risk the rug being pulled at the final hurdle.he is holding out for an offer from the Premier League
Barcelona have told Kessié he is free to choose his next destination but if new revelations do not come about, they will be pushing Juventus to finalise a deal. Liverpool will need to put some money down if they’re serious about bringing him in.
The 3AM verdict: Pursuing Kessié might well be a very smart move from the Reds. As we’ve already touched on, Klopp needs to bring in new options for the No.6 role and the club need to get a wriggle on as it’s now their main area of concern. Kessié is a central midfielder by trade but can operate comfortably in a deeper position, as well as centre-back.
So not only will he be a much-needed asset in Liverpool’s weak area, but he can provide cover in other positions on the pitch as well.There’s still plenty of time for Premier League clubs to make major waves in the transfer window as they prepare to lock horns in the new season.
