It seems that the saga regarding Virgil Van Dijk’s future at Southampton isn’t going to end anytime soon.
The club from St. Mary’s has stated that the Dutch defender has not asked for a transfer request and this is a sign for the Saints management as well as the fans, that they might keep hold of their star defender.
Many rumors have appeared saying that Van Dijk had requested a transfer and tried to put pressure on Southampton officials in order to force them to sell him to Liverpool.
However, the Daily Echo is now reporting that none of this is true and that so far, Van Dijk has not expressed his desire to leave.
Initially, Southampton were about to report Liverpool to the Premier League because of an illegal approach for the player. The club from Anfield quickly apologized for their behavior and decided to back out from the pursuit.
Nonetheless, Jurgen Klopp stills want the Dutch International at Liverpool and it remains to be seen if they can convince Southampton to sell.
