Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Chelsea could very easily table an offer to sign Romeo Lavia still this summer.
He took to YouTube to state that he believed they could be unpredictable in the market after they secure the addition of Moises Caicedo.
In the midfielder merry-go round that is currently ongoing in football, Lavia is a domino who is still waiting to fall.
He is still currently with Southampton, who are preparing for a season back in the Championship after relegation from the top flight
Romano has now claimed that the Blues could easily table an offer for the Belgian in the coming weeks after they get a deal done for their number one target.
Chelsea could bid for Caicedo
He said: “When you have Chelsea for example. Chelsea are really unpredictable in the market.
“At the moment they are working on Caicedo but if they get him next week and then they still have space to do something in the midfield, so if they sell some more players in the next weeks, maybe they can say ‘okay, let’s put £50 million on the table and sign Romeo Lavia’. This can happen.”
The saga regarding the Ecuador international has been one that has dragged over the window already, with the Blues and Brighton deep in discussions.
The club will be hoping to find a solution to this before they travel to the United States for their pre-season tour, which they are expected to leave for in a week.
However, if he is signed, they should still look to Lavia, who has already been described as ‘incredible’ in the early stages of his career by none other than Pep Guardiola.
