Fabrizio Romano Claims Liverpool Have Contacted Southampton Over Romeo Lavia

Liverpool have made an approach for Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Romano shared the news on Twitter in a post which read: “Understand Liverpool have approached Southampton for Roméo Lavia — talks on player side have been ongoing for more than one month.

“Jason Wilcox is leading talks now for Southampton and insists on £50m package deal.

“Lavia remains one of the top candidates on Liverpool’s list.”

The update comes shortly after fans thought they spotted a potential transfer clue involving a private plane that travelled to the club’s training camp in Germany last week.
