Chelsea made a bid for Southampton’s Romeo Lafia on Wednesday night.
Southampton Eco Press Report Alfie House.

Well informed Ben Jacobs He writes that Chelsea had been interested for some time, and that the club’s sporting director Joe Shield was involved. Formerly the Manchester City manager, he then brought the 19-year-old to Southampton.
A problem with the negotiations (with Liverpool) is the high agent fee in addition to the transfer fee. Chelsea did not abandon Moises Caicedo, and the offer to Lafia is not a sign of defeat.
The big question is how Liverpool, Jürg Schmadtke and Jürgen Klopp will react to this news. Another question is what Romeo preferred to Lavia. The Belgian has been clear that Anfield is the desired destination, but the question is whether that view has changed in recent weeks.
News about Lavia’s transmission is expected to be updated continuously from Thursday morning.
