Liverpool and Chelsea are vying for Romeo Lavia. The Reds signed a £60 million deal first, but the Blues are currently in advanced negotiations with Southampton. Lavia has made it obvious that he wants to join Chelsea, and the Blues beat Liverpool to the acquisition of Moises Caicedo from Brighton.

Romeo Lavia’s transfer to Chelsea from Southampton is now in advanced negotiations.
According to one source, there is “cautious optimism” that a complete agreement may be achieved on the sale, according to Sky Sports News.

There shouldn’t be any issues with Chelsea and Lavia’s personal relationships.

Lavia and Liverpool have a contract worth about £60 million, but the player has made it plain that he wants to join Chelsea.
Chelsea has snatched Moises Caicedo away from Liverpool. For Caicedo, the Blues and Brighton have reached a record-breaking £115 million agreement. That comes after Liverpool had their £111 million bid accepted, only for the 21-year-old to let them know he was going to Chelsea.

Chelsea wants to add two midfielders during this transfer window, and negotiations to buy Tyler Adams from Leeds United ended last week due to the parties’ inability to come to an agreement.
