Chelsea and Southampton have an agreement for the transfer of Romeo Lavia, according to a report from Belgium.
Journalist Sacha Tavolieri claims that the Blues ‘finally’ reached the Saints’ request, and are ready to spend £50m on the transfer.
The move made by Chelsea is an effort to outbid Liverpool, something they already done with Moises Caicedo and Brighton & Hove Albion.
Chelsea are now reportedly waiting for him, with a contract ‘ready’. He’s set to sign a five-year deal, with an option for an extra season.
With nothing done, though, it’s said there’s still a chance Liverpool could try a late move to hijack that deal.
It’s claimed that a last minute offer from the Reds ‘wouldn’t be a nonsense’, so not a waste of time, especially because the player previously told a teammate he’d like to play for Liverpool.
These seem to be very tense hours for both clubs, with Chelsea and Reds in ongoing battles.
