Liverpool received a double blow in the transfer market on Monday. This first came through reports of Romeo Lavia wanting to join Chelsea, and later, the London club’s announcement of the signing of Moises Caicedo.
The disregard for two midfield targets posed a major problem for the Red Devils ahead of the final weeks of the transfer window with a response that seemed to come from nowhere.

Liverpool are arguably among the top clubs that still have a lasting admiration for Aurelien Tchouameni.
That is according to The Athletic, who also report that Real Madrid considers the midfielder an important player and will not consider his departure, while the player has no intention of leaving.
Tchouameni only joined Real last summer and is closely linked with a move to Anfield, with Liverpool still interested in the midfielder.

That’s according to The Times, who reports that Lavia’s representatives have informed Liverpool that their client wants to move to Chelsea. The Red Devils have made offers of £38m and £41m for Lavia but have been turned down by Southampton for the midfielder.
It is also thought that the personal terms Chelsea are willing to pay for Lavia exceed those Liverpool had anticipated. The report also says that Liverpool are in a hurry to re-evaluate their midfield options.
Saudi side Al-Ittihad is said to have contacted Mohamed Salah and Liverpool about a potential transfer.
That’s according to journalist Rudy Galetti, who reports that Salah will let Liverpool decide because he doesn’t mind but respects the club’s decision at Anfield.
Speaking earlier this month, Salah’s agent Ramy Abbas flatly ruled out a move for the Egyptian to the Saudi Pro League this summer – insisting the striker “remains committed” to Liverpool.
