Franco-Belgian journalistSacha Tavolieri ɾєρօɾτsthatPremier LeaguesideLiverpoolwill return to Championship clubSouthamptonin the coming hours with an improved bid for Romeo Lavia after having an initial proposal knocked back by theSaints for the player on Tuesday, worth a ɾєρօɾτed £37m.
The 19-year-old is understood to have agreed a provisional 5-year contract withLFCand is hoping to move back to thePremier Leaguethis summer.
TheSaintsare holding out for a minimum of £40m in a fixed initial fee, which represents the same number as the size of the buyback clause that the player’s former club, Manchester City, have, which is activated in June 2024.
Southampton believe that getting to that base figure with additional bonuses that could take an overall Ԁєɑł up to £50m + would represent a strong Ԁєɑł for a club that has just been relegated to the English 2nd division.
