After Felipe Caicedo, Romeo Lavia would also have preferred to join Chelsea rather than Liverpool.
It was 1-1 on Sunday afternoon between Chelsea and Liverpool at Stamford Bridge. But on the transfer market, the Blues should quickly lead 2-0 against the Reds.
The Mersey club had received a first blow to the head with Felipe Caicedo, the Ecuadorian from Brighton, who preferred to join Chelsea and snub Liverpool when his club accepted an offer from the Reds. Liverpool then quickly fell back on Romeo Lavia, but the Southampton player would also have decided to sign for Chelsea, announces The Athletic.
The transfer would be estimated at just over 60 million euros, and the promising Belgian international should quickly join London.
