Liverpool and Chelsea have been at odds not only on the field, but also in the transfer market.
Their first Premier League match ended in a tie, and they have been widely linked with two defensive midfielders in the form of Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo.
Liverpool willing to spend £25.9 million for versatile defender – Klopp’s wish
Southampton rebuffed down three proposals from the Merseysiders for Lavia, prompting Chelsea to make a greater offer to the Saints.
In exchange, Liverpool focused on Caicedo and struck a British transfer record agreement with Brighton to sign him. The Stamford Bridge team, on the other hand, could not see their main objective at Anfield.
As a result, they have interfered with an even larger offer and are currently on the verge of acquiring the Ecuadorian international, according to Football Insider.
The London club also paid £55 million for Romeo Lavia, which enraged the Reds and ensured they did not even receive the Belgian international.
However, as Football Insider exclusively reported, Liverpool has the teenager’s permission to join them, allowing them to hijack the signing.
We’ve rarely seen a transfer market so tumultuous, with two clubs continually attempting to outbid each other.
Caicedo has been on Chelsea’s radar for months, with personal terms negotiated in May; similarly, Lavia has been on Liverpool’s radar for a long time, with an agreement to move to Anfield in place.
The two Premier League titans have lost world-class defensive midfielders N’Golo Kante and Fabinho this summer and are keen to find replacements.
