Liverpool’s transfer buzz: Private plane tracked to German camp, ignites double transfer speculation

In a captivating twist of events, Liverpool appears to be engaged in talks with promising talents Romeo Lavia and Khephren Thuram, following a conspicuous transfer clue that has set the football world abuzz.

On Friday, a £40 million bid from Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad for midfielder Fabinho landed on Liverpool’s doorstep, casting uncertainty on the Brazil international’s future. Consequently, Fabinho was absent from the squad’s journey to a training camp in Germany, with ongoing discussions about his potential departure.

Adding to the intrigue, Reds’ captain Jordan Henderson has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, where Liverpool legend and Al-Ettifaq manager Steven Gerrard is believed to be an admirer of the England international. However, no official bid for Henderson, who has two years remaining on his current contract, has materialized yet.

With potential midfield upheavals looming, Liverpool could be exploring the transfer market for alternatives, leading to speculation about moves for Romeo Lavia and Khephren Thuram.

A private plane’s mysterious route, tracked by Flightscanner, has raised eyebrows, hinting at possible deals for both Lavia and Thuram. The aircraft, initially destined for Liverpool from Nice, unexpectedly diverted to Southampton, making a two-hour stop at Blackpool. The same plane is then scheduled to depart Southampton for Stuttgart, near Liverpool’s current training camp location.

This intriguing sequence has sparked theories that Liverpool’s recruitment staff may have engaged in discussions with France international Thuram in Nice, before proceeding to negotiate with Southampton for Lavia’s signature.

Adding credibility to this speculation, Gazzetta dello Sport, via Paisley Gates, has asserted that Liverpool is intensifying their efforts to secure Lavia’s services, with Southampton reportedly demanding a hefty £50 million for the 19-year-old talent.

Meanwhile, Spanish publication Nacional reports that Liverpool, along with Barcelona and Bayern Munich, are showing interest in luring Thuram away from Nice. However, Liverpool may be at a disadvantage due to their inability to meet Thuram’s asking price, while Bayern is allegedly willing to meet the required £42.5 million for the 22-year-old winger.

As Liverpool’s transfer saga unfolds, fans worldwide await with bated breath, eager to witness whether these intriguing clues will translate into successful signings for the Reds.
