![]() ![]() Liverpool transfer news: I can see Virgil van Dijk transfer happening - John Aldridge | Football | Sport. Van Dijk wants to leave Southampton and has been banished to train with the Under- 2. Liverpool are tracking the situation closely but they're wary of making a move that will upset the Saints, who issued a statement hitting out at the Reds for their conduct earlier this summer in pursuing a deal. Arsenal have also been linked with the player while Manchester City and Chelsea have shown an interest.

Alridge told the Irish Independent: "In an ideal world, the deal to get Virgil van Dijk out of Southampton could be revived and their signing of a Dutch international defender Wesley Hoedt suggests they may be covering themselves in case their ‘on strike’ centre- back leaves."Liverpool appear to have made a bit of a mess of their initial approaches for Van Dijk, with their apology to Southampton for speaking to the player without permission appearing to have soured relations between the two clubs."Yet there comes a point when a player who is causing too many problems at a club needs to be removed and with Van Dijk making it clear he wants to leave, there may be room to strike a deal if a buying club pays over the odds."Aldridge thinks it's a different situation with Van Dijk than it is with Philippe Coutinho, though. The Brazilian has handed in a transfer request but that's been rejected by Liverpool, who are adamant he's going nowhere. ![]() Aldridge added: "Van Dijk’s situation is very different to that of Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho, who wants to go to a massive club in Barcelona and we can all understand why."If Coutinho comes back into the Liverpool fold once the transfer window closes, I don’t think the players, the manager or the fans will have a problem with him, but you wonder if that is the same story with Van Dijk at Southampton."Van Dijk is at loggerheads with his employer and that is not a healthy situation. I can see something breaking there in the next few days and a transfer happening."Whether Southampton would sell Van Dijk to Liverpool after all that has gone on this summer is another matter, but they should certainly make an offer in the next few days just to test the water."You would hope that the people working at Anfield to secure transfers would have a few more irons in the fire. "Whatever Klopp might say publicly, he knows he needs to sign a top centre- back and a player who can offer something in the heart of the midfield to give Liverpool a chance of winning trophies this season."The moment has come for Liverpool to splash the cash and make some big signings and all involved in the club’s transfer negotiations appreciate they need to deliver now.".
