Chelsea Snags 21-Year-Old Midfielder Romeo Lavia Away from Southampton
Swing open the gates of London's prestigious Chelsea FC, for they've snapped up a shiny new midfield gem—lying claim to 21-year-old Belgian Romeo Lavia, previously belonging to Southampton. Waving a seven-year deal that locks him in until the end of June 2030, Lavia now flaunts the number 45 jersey.
The juicy details of the deal are under lock and key, but whispers suggest that Southampton walked away with a whopping £58 million in compensation (£53M upfront, plus an additional £5M in bonuses). Moreover, Manchester City, who Lavia left for Southampton not so long ago, will grab a chunk of the proceedings.
Initially, Liverpool seemed squarely in the driving seat, vying for the teenaged talent, but Chelsea must've pulled a stunner, as they've dethroned the Merseyside Reds.
Lavia first touched Southampton turf in July 2022, hopping over from Manchester City's academy for an impressive €12.3 million. Now that Lavia's traded in the Marvel-colored shirts for the Blues' iconic blue, City will have a bite of the cherry.
In his brief yet eventful tenure with Southampton, Lavia strutted his stuff in an impressive 34 games across various tournaments. Tagging a single goal and an assist along the way. Officially, he stamped his international debut onto the Belgian national team's record, gracing a friendly tussle against mighty Germany in March of this year.
(Although reports suggestromeo Lavia is actually 21 years old, not 19 as initially stated in the article.)
