Virgil Van Dijk has been one of the best defenders in the current season in the English Premier League. Though he had to miss a chunk of the season due to an injury, the defender has shown his brilliance during the time he spent on the pitch for his current side Southampton. Now, he is on the verge of recovery and might look to continue his good run with the defensive responsibilities.
This time though, the Dutch defensive monster is reportedly looking to make a switch to another club, preferably one from the big guns of the Premier League. He has been receiving offers to join from clubs like Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and the current champions Chelsea, and is yet to decide on whether he will put an end to his Southampton career and move on in the search of European glory with any of the aforementioned clubs in the next season.
Currently, with big money spenders Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United already looking to bag the defender, Liverpool has burst into the scene with a possibility of making a surprise bid that might equal a whopping amount of £50 million.
Jurgen Klopp, the current manager of the Reds, is looking very much desperate to make it another good season for his team in the Premier League as well as the UEFA Champions League and is making efforts to bring in some top class players to give stability to his side.
With the possibility of French centre-back Mamadou Sakho having a role looking next to impossible under the regime of the German coach, it has become a necessity for the Reds to look for a good defender whose presence at the heart of their defence can provide them security against opposition attacks. It goes without saying that the Dutch defender can be an asset for the team and can be a perfect fit into the side to give their defence world of strength.
Jurgen Klopp has reportedly made it very clear that Van Dijk is the only centre-back whom he wants to see in his squad this term. He has been emphasising on the fact that if the Southampton defender joins his side, he will have the opportunity to play in the European competition as well on a regular basis, which might be a big boost to establish his career in the future.
Reportedly, the Southampton ace is also thrilled to have the privilege of playing under the tutelage of the German mastermind and might look to choose them as his next destination.
