Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is desperate to bolster his midfield before the end of the transfer window.
The German thought his side had agreed a deal to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton last week.
Reds chiefs agreed to pay the Seagulls £111m to sign the midfielder, only for Caicedo to snub them in favour of a move to Stamford Bridge.
According to the Guardian’s Jacob Steinberg, Liverpool are now desperate to beat Chelsea to the signing of Lavia.
