The futures of Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo are coming to a head, and while one midfielder has chosen Liverpool over Chelsea, Fabrizio Romano insists Jurgen Klopp will bid for the other.
Liverpool and Chelsea are both desperate to make major-name additions in central midfield over the coming days and weeks. Both clubs have seen a plethora of midfield stars leave this window and as yet, Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino remain way down on numbers.
Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have been banked at Anfield. At Stamford Bridge, a £20m move for Leeds United’s Tyler Adams has been agreed and the first part of the American’s medical has already taken place.
However, both Liverpool and Chelsea are gunning for one and potentially even two more signings in the engine room.
