Southampton have rejected the Reds’ better bid for Romeo Lavia. At the same time, Liverpool are also exploring a transfer for Fluminense’s Andre if the price of Romeo remains too high for them.
Manchester City have a £40m buy back clause and a 20% sell on clause for Romeo Lavia.
Us offering under £40m base would likely see them get a return of just over £30m, why would they accept that? They shouldn’t just expect to be bullied just because they got relegated.

The Reds’ latest bid was 49 million dollars, but the Saints want 64 million dollars for Lavia.
If the Merseysiders can’t come to an agreement with Southampton for the Belgian international, they will look for an alternative, as the top priority there is Fluminense’s midfielder Andre.
Lavia wants to continue his career at Anfield, as that’s not part of the problem, only the transfer fee. Chelsea are also looking at the current situation and are ready to make an offer if the player doesn’t join Liverpool.
Romeo has 4 years left on his Southampton deal after joining the side from Man. City a year ago, but wants to leave after the team will play in Championship this season after relegation in the past Premier League campaign.
