Carra and Neville clash over FSG as Liverpool's Lavia saga drags on

Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville have clashed on social media about Liverpool's ownership with their transfer business set to drag on into the new season.

Liverpool have signed Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton for £35m and Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig for £60m this summer, but are still in need of reinforcements after losing six first-team midfielders.

The Reds have built a reputation for being efficient in the transfer market but after the exits of Michael Edwards and Julian Ward, their last two sporting directors, the club have struggled to maintain those standards.

Carragher described his former club's business as "embarrassing" on social media responding to a report that their third bid for Romeo Lavia, the 19-year-old Southampton midfielder, worth £45m had been turned down.

"Liverpool for years now have got deals done quickly with no fuss," the Sky Sports pundit wrote on the social media platform X. "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."
