Liverpool's move for £50 million-rated midfielder Romeo Lavia could be in some danger.

The Reds are pushing to agree a fee with Southampton for the 19-year-old before the Premier League season begins.

However, The Mail states that Chelsea and Manchester United could enter the mix.

Both clubs are in the market for a new central midfielder, while they see Lavia as a great option.

Liverpool are still the favourites to secure his signature, but may not have it their own way.

Other teams coming in for him would also convince the Saints to raise his asking price.
