Romeo Lavia’s move is the most recent as Liverpool gets ready to offer the defender a three-year contract
Even though Liverpool’s first Premier League match of the new season is less than two weeks away, they still have a lot of work to do in the transfer market.
With the acquisitions of Alexis MacAllister and Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig and Brighton and Hove Albion, respectively, the Reds have already spent close to £100 million this summer.
The departure of Jordan Henderson to Saudi Pro League club Al Ettifaq and the impending arrival of Fabinho in the Gulf state as he moves toward a move to Al-Ittihad have prompted Jurgen Klopp to promise more signings before the club’s trip to the capital next month.
There are a lot of things to do in preseason, the Reds manager said in response to a question on the “We Are Liverpool” podcast.
“.
Transfers are welcome on the market. If my day were longer than the current 24 hours—28—there wouldn’t be a problem.
“With all the things you have to do, my main focus and energy must go into the training sessions, so that’s what I do. I can try to help with other things once the sessions are over.
It will be three and a half weeks before the first game of the season. There are undoubtedly a few transfer market-related activities that need to happen before then. Everything makes sense now. And it will happen.
Changes in players are required.
We’ll have a capable team. “.
Liverpool is already working behind the scenes to strengthen the back end in preparation for the upcoming season despite Henderson’s abrupt departure.
The opening offer from Southampton’s Romeo Lavia, which was estimated to be worth around £38 million with add-ons, was turned down by Liverpool, according to a previous ECHO report.
The 19-year-old Belgian is at the top of the list of prospective players according to Anfield officials this summer. Liverpool is anticipated to counteroffer for the midfielder with a higher offer.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has been used as the No. Liverpool will attempt to make up for their lack of midfield options this summer by competing for the No. 1 spot. Young player Conor Bradley began playing the inverted full-back position when he was 6 years old.
A new three-year contract with the team is reportedly “set to sign” for the Northern Irishman as a result of his strong performances in his two appearances this summer, according to The Athletic.
The 20-year-old’s long-term deal with the Reds was finalized in 2021. After a strong individual season while on loan at League One’s Bolton Wanderers, the defender now seems destined to receive new terms.
According to Bradley, this preseason is without a doubt the most important of my career to date. Naturally, I think every preseason will be the most crucial for me, but I’m interested to see how I do with this one.
“Compared to the previous preseason I took part in, it just feels different. I’m currently vying for a spot on the team because I want to join it. I’m going to work really hard for that job and compete for it. “.
