It's not just Caicedo, the second signing Chelsea FC steals from Liverpool FC
Liverpool FC lose another transfer market target to Chelsea FC. As happened a few days ago with Moises Caicedo, Jurgen Klopp's team will not have one of the most followed players in the current transfer market. It treats of an element that was vital for the operation of the club.
Romeo Lavia has accepted Chelsea FC's proposal, as confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, as well as David Ornstein. The Belgian Southampton midfielder will leave his club for a figure close to 55 million dollars. In this way, Pochettino's Chelsea obtains two of the best midfielders in the Premier League to strengthen their team this season.
Liverpool have continued to fight for Romeo Lavia to wear the 'net'. The Anfield club even reached an agreement with Southampton for the Belgian medium, for which he was willing to pay almost 70 million euros. Much more than what Liverpool had initially planned, 52 million euros. However, the reds failed to convince the player.
Did Lavia reject Liverpool?
According to Ornstein, Liverpool also had to convince the player and Romeo Lavia has chosen to sign for Chelsea, who also maintains good relations with Southampton, so everything indicates that the operation will be closed and the Belgian will wear 'blue' and not 'red' for 58 million euros plus bonus. With this, Chelsea achieves two vital signings to fight for the Premier League.
