Chelsea has joined the competition to sign the Belgian international, who has Liverpool's attention.
Negotiations between teams are reportedly still going on despite Liverpool's previous offer, which was for £45 million, being turned down.
Liverpool has been attempting to reach an agreement with Southampton on the purchase of Lavia, but the Reds' asking price is less than anticipated.
According to Reportminds.com, Chelsea's most recent bid is anticipated to be turned down since Southampton is holding out for its £50 million value.
Chelsea is said to be interested in Tyler Adams of Leeds and Moises Caicedo of Brighton before the transfer market shuts at the final day of the month.
Lavia joined Southampton last summer from Manchester City, and he still has four years remaining on his deal.
Many supporters do not anticipate Lavia to play on Championship with Southampton, who were demoted last season, given his performance for the Saints previous season.
The 18-year-old Belgian was not selected in the Southampton squad for the Carabao Cup loss at Gillingham on Tuesday, and he did not play off the bench during Southampton's victory over Sheffield Wednesday on the opening weekend of the season.
