60 million superstar to arrive at Anfield and put the brakes on Lavia's move, surprises

Things don't always go as planned when it comes to the transfer market, as a player who is very close to joining a team may end up not making it due to a last minute situation. Such is the case with Romeo Lavia, who has been linked with our Liverpool in recent weeks and could now see the Reds' interest decrease due to the fact that there would now be the possibility of signing a better player in his position.

Liverpool has been trying for several weeks to sign a defensive midfielder to continue the rebuilding of the team's midfield, especially with the imminent departure of Fabinho to Al-Ittihad. In that sense, Jürgen Klopp would have set his eyes on Southampton's young Belgian player, however the £50 million they are asking for Lavia would be an amount considered too high by the Anfield board, who would prefer to sign a superstar for a price similar to that.

Although Lavia would not have ceased to be one of the main options for Klopp, as it has even been assured that at the end of the transfer window Lavia will be a Liverpool player. However, he would no longer be the top priority, as the possibility has now opened up for our Liverpool to sign a world class player who could give us the boost we need to compete for the Premier League title again.

The superstar Klopp wants for Liverpool

According to Spanish media Marca, Jürgen Klopp and Liverpool are eyeing Marco Verratti to reinforce the team's midfield. We are talking about PSG's Marco Verratti. According to Marca's information, PSG is asking £60 million for the player, an amount that the Anfield giants could negotiate to make Verratti a new Liverpool player.
