Looks like Romano got most of his news from a French publication, which published the story yesterday (looks like the bid he talks about was made last week).

Chelsea have had a bid accepted for Lavia and agreed personal terms apparently. Seems weird thing to do this afternoon rather than focus on the Caicedo situation. Hopefully that pisses off Moises' agent enough.
It's not just the £111m amount that Chelsea will need to better, but also the terms that have been agreed with Liverpool including structure of payment and the sell on.
