Despite receiving praise for his performances in a Southampton shirt, Lavia couldn't prevent the team from finishing at the bottom of the Premier League table, resulting in their relegation to the Championship. Consequently, several key players are expected to depart St Mary's during the summer, and Lavia is among those poised for a move elsewhere.
According to talkSPORT, Liverpool is making arrangements to present an offer to Southampton for Lavia during this summer's transfer window. The Reds have reportedly surged ahead of other potential suitors in the race to secure the midfielder's signature.
While Chelsea has also shown interest in the former Manchester City player, the club's co-director of recruitment, Joe Shields, has recommended Lavia to their new manager, Mauricio Pochettino. However, it appears that Chelsea is exploring alternative options for their midfield before prioritizing Lavia, which could give Liverpool an advantage in securing their desired target.
