Welcome to the Liverpool.com daily Media Digest. From transfers to tweets, it can be hard to keep up with everything going on in the Anfield sphere. Credible, incredible and anything in between: we round it all up in one place here, taking a sideways look at the day’s media goings-on from around the world. Liverpool withdrew from the race for Jude Bellingham in part due to concerns over the price. As such, the eventual transfer fee was always going to be subject to scrutiny.
That's only fractionally more than the existing Liverpool transfer record, albeit with add-ons expected to take the fee higher.
Of course, Liverpool would still need to pay a sizable fee on top, with Southampton valuing Lavia at $62m (£50m/€58m).
