With Liverpool seemingly no closer to getting the signing of Romeo Lavia over the line, it appears the player is attempting to take matters into his own hands!
The 19-year-old has been left out of the Southampton squad to face Gillingham in the EFL Cup having not featured in the weekend’s Championship opener against Sheffield Wednesday.
The Reds saw their third bid, worth up to £46 million, rejected on Monday with the Saints standing firm on their £50 million asking price.
Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri has reported that Lavia was not part of the Tuesday morning training session with his teammates, with the latest indications being that the player is hoping to conclude a deal imminently.
Liverpool travel to Chelsea this weekend for the first game of their Premier League season, but as things stand they will do so without a recognised defensive midfielder.
