Former Manchester United captain, Gary Neville, has slammed Chelsea for signing midfielder Romeo Lavia last the summer transfer window.
Neville insisted that the Blues didn’t even need to sign the Belgian in the first place.
Recall that Chelsea beat off competition from Liverpool to sign Lavia from Southampton in a deal worth £53 million plus add-ons in the summer of 2023.
Speaking on The Overlap, Neville said, as quoted by TBR Football:
“They [Chelsea] went and bought Enzo, they go and buy Caicedo and then through their ego they went and bought Lavia on the final day of the transfer window for £54m and then they have to sell Conor Gallagher?
“They didn’t need Lavia, he has not even played a game for them anyway.”
