Former boss Pep Guardiola is really impressed with Lavia’s performance last term and said :-
“I am really impressed with what Romeo has done and is doing.

Journalist expects Liverpool to table the penultimate bid for Lavia in the coming weeks
Journalist Sacha Tavolieri expects Liverpool to launch the third & final bid for Romeo Lavia in the coming weeks. He said :-
“Liverpool FC ready to make a third & ultimate offer for Romeo Lavia. I understand the bid will meet the £40m transfer fee expectations by Saints FC + add-ons. Player’s side just waiting for LFC to activate but informed the club his desire to join the Reds.
“There’s a feeling that Klopp’s team are the only squad able to do such offer at that moment. Dialogue remains opens as Southampton FC won’t let leave his biggest sale of the year with the financial impact of a relegation. Deal still ON.”
