Chelsea FC has agreed to sign Belgium midfielder Romeo Lavia from Southampton FC, according to media reports on Tuesday, August 15. The BBC reported that Chelsea agreed to a fee of 53 million pounds ($67.32 million) for the 19-year-old. Romeo Lavia signed for Manchester City in 2020 but made just two appearances for the club before joining the Saints in July 2022 for 10.5 million pounds.
