The Reds are still trying to sign Romeo Lavia before the end of the transfer window, but the club are bracing themselves for another player bid from Saudi Arabia
Liverpool have just one more pre-season fixture to play before the Premier League campaign gets underway.
However, it’s not just Sunday’s trip to Chelsea that will be occupying the mind of manager Jurgen Klopp this week. His work in the summer transfer window is still not done, with the club currently at odds with Southampton over the fee for teenage midfielder Romeo Lavia.
Jurgen Klopp has already secured the signings of World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai this summer, but the departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to Saudi Arabia have left him short of reinforcements. The club are now weighing up other options if the Saints continue to play hard ball over Lavia.
