Jurgen Klopp may have already snapped up Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai this summer, but the German is still in the market for midfield reinforcements after losing both Fabinho and Jordan Henderson to the Saudi Pro League. It seemed as though Lavia was the Reds' preferred target to complete their new-look midfield before they then decided to change tact and lodge a £111million bid for Moises Caicedo. Liverpool returned to talks over a deal for Lavia after Caicedo turned them down in favour of a move to Chelsea - but the damage had already been done. According to The Guardian, Lavia and his camp were left 'bemused' by Liverpool's tactics, which effectively made the talented teenager feel like a second-choice target. Despite the fact that Liverpool have now agreed a fee in excess of £50m for Lavia's services, the midfielder is expected to follow Caicedo to Chelsea. That effectively means Liverpool will have to go back to the drawing board with just over two weeks left in the transfer window - meaning time is very much against Klopp in his bid to acquire a defensive midfielder. The club's transfer strategy was brutally torn apart by Anfield favourite Jamie Carragher on Monday night in the wake of their latest bid for Lavia. Join the debate! What do you make of Liverpool's transfer business? Let us know here. Liverpool headed into the summer knowing that they needed to rebuild their engine room after a disappointing season and Carragher is unimpressed that the Reds have started the new campaign with work still to be done in the market. "They just put a bid in for £60m when they refused to pay £50m a few days ago," Carragher fumed on){kind=link}
