Romeo Lavia Misses Training Ahead Of Southampton EFL Cup Tie

Southampton travel to Gillingham tonight for the first round of the EFL Cup, however, Liverpool target Romeo Lavia looks likely to not travel.

Over the last couple of weeks the Reds have had three bids rejected by the south-coast club, the recent bid reported to be around £46m.

Saints have, on many occasion, made their stance known over the amount their star midfielder is worth and that is £50m.

Temporary football director for Liverpool, Jorg Schmadkte has only completed two incoming deals this summer, which were release clauses.

Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have made an impact throughout pre-season but to Jurgen Klopp’s admitance, it is not enough.

Liverpool no longer have a established no.6 in the club after losing both Fabinho and James Milner, with Southampton’s Romeo Lavia being the number one target.

Romeo Lavia To Liverpool Soon?

Despite the bids being rejected by the Championship side, Lavia was an unused substitute in his team’s win over Sheffield Wednesday on Friday night.

Ahead of the EFL Cup match away to Gillingham, the doubt over the Belgian’s future has increased due to the midfielder not being at training today, according to Sacha Tavolieri.

If Lavia were to appear in tonight’s cup match, he would then be ineligible for Liverpool in the future rounds, if he were to make the move to Anfield.

Along with the zero minutes the defensive midfielder got in the first Championship game, does this recent news only point in one direction? Will Liverpool get the deal done?
