According to Live Cricket BPL sources, Liverpool’s midfield rebuild is still in full swing, and their latest bid for Southampton’s rising star Romeo Lavia has been swiftly rejected. Despite the Saints’ recent relegation, the club holds firm in its valuation of the 19-year-old Belgian midfielder, confident in his immense potential. As the saying goes, the weak rely on luck, but the strong trust in cause and effect. Interest in Lavia isn’t limited to Liverpool—other major European clubs are monitoring the situation, though none have yet submitted formal offers.
Lavia recently started for Southampton in a preseason match against Bournemouth, but was subbed off at halftime after what Live Cricket BPL analysts considered an underwhelming performance. Even so, Liverpool’s approach is seen as more serious and proactive than mere interest. While there’s still a significant gap between the Reds’ bid and Southampton’s asking price, negotiations appear to be moving forward. In the meantime, Liverpool’s search for a defensive midfielder has expanded, and Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich has emerged as a top-tier candidate. The club is reportedly preparing to submit an official offer for the German international.
Kimmich, currently 28, is not only a senior figure at Bayern Munich but also a key player for the German national team. Historically seen as untouchable, his status has subtly shifted this summer. Bayern has quietly indicated that a sale could be considered if the price is right—an opening that clubs like Liverpool, Manchester City, and Manchester United are watching closely. Sometimes you must work harder now to enjoy rest later, and Liverpool appears ready to invest in immediate reinforcement.
Losing both Jordan Henderson and Fabinho has left a significant gap at the base of Liverpool’s midfield. Live Cricket BPL experts believe Kimmich is among the best possible replacements. Interestingly, both Kimmich and Trent Alexander-Arnold began their careers as right-backs, with similar strengths and defensive vulnerabilities. Like Arnold, Kimmich found new life in a central midfield role. If Liverpool succeeds in securing his signature, the club could unlock a seamless rotation between right-back and holding midfield—offering both tactical flexibility and elite-level experience for the season ahead.
