Former Liverpool defender, Jamie Carragher, has slammed the club for the delay in wrapping up a deal for Southampton’s Romeo Lavia.
The Reds saw third bid for the midfielder worth £45m rejected.
Southampton are believed to be holding out for £50m.
Carragher has now advised Liverpool to abandon the deal if they don’t want to match the Saints’ demand.
He also urged them to enter the race alongside Chelsea to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton.
“This is embarrassing. Liverpool for years now have got deals done quickly with no fuss.
“If you don’t think he’s worth 50M move on, if you really want him, pay it.
“Also not sure why LFC aren’t in for Caicedo, yes it’s a lot of money but Liverpool got big money for Jordan Henderson and Fabinho,” Carragher tweeted.
