Jurgen Klopp gives Liverpool FC update about Romeo Lavia after Rafa Benitez meeting ; it’s game away

Your Liverpool FC morning digest as Jurgen Klopp discusses Romeo Lavia and a Celta Vigo player is reportedly targeted.

Jurgen Klopp has given the game away about Romeo Lavia transfer after Liverpool U-turn.

Curtis Jones was one of the stars of the European Under-21 Championship this summer, as the Liverpool midfielder built on his promising end to last season.

Putting in man-of-the-match showings in both England’s semi-final win over Israel and final victory over Spain, the 22-year-old even scored the winner in the latter, not that he knew much about it, as his performances saw him named in the team of the tournament.

With the Young Lions predominantly lining up in a 4-4-2 formation, Jones was selected in a deeper midfield role alongside Angel Gomes, with the pair both fielded as number sixes in a double-pivot engine-room.

 

Such a role was in contrast to how the midfielder had been used by Jurgen Klopp during Liverpool’s unbeaten 11-game run at the back-end of last season.

 

With the Reds’ switching to a 3-2-2-3 formation, unleashing Trent Alexander-Arnold as an inverted right-back, Jones was ever-present throughout as he returned three goals and an assist from the advanced left-sided positio

Klopp would be impressed by Jones’ performances for his country as England were crowned European champions.

 

However, speaking last month, the German suggested, despite the summer signings of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai as part of a midfield revamp, he would be persisting with Jones in a more advanced role back at Anfield.

Liverpool have reportedly met with former manager Rafa Benitez – now in charge of La Liga side Celta Vigo – to discuss signing midfielder Gabri Veiga.

 

The 22-year-old, who scored league goals last season, has been linked with a host of clubs this summer including PSG and Arsenal.

 

Journalist Ben Jacobs told The Boot Room: “There’s a release clause there, there’s plenty of Premier League clubs who are looking at [Veiga]. And game time is going to be quite important to Gabri Veiga as well.

know for example, Liverpool haven’t moved for Veiga, but they scouted him and there was a recent conversation between someone senior at Liverpool and Rafa Benitez.

 

 

“The feeling was that there might be an opportunity to sign and loan back because the player’s so adamant that if he moves to a big Premier League club, he needs instant game time.

 

“I’m not convinced that anyone out of the big Premier League clubs would be able to offer him that.”
