Liverpool and Chelsea are vying for Romeo Lavia. The Reds completed a deal initially, but the Blues and Southampton have already reached an agreement over a transfer. Lavia has made it obvious that he wants to join Chelsea, and the Blues beat Liverpool to the signing of Moises Caicedo from Brighton.
Romeo Lavia will join Chelsea from Southampton for £58 million.
Lavia has passed his physical, and the agreement is for an initial £53 million plus $5 million in add-ons.
There shouldn’t be any issues with Chelsea and Lavia’s personal relationships.
Lavia has made it plain he wants to move to Chelsea, despite Liverpool and Southampton having reached an agreement on a deal for £60 million on Sunday night.
Chelsea has snatched Moises Caicedo away from Liverpool. Caicedo left Brighton for the Blues for a British record-breaking £115 million. That came 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.
