Things are pretty messy at St Mary’s stadium right now. Virgil van Dijk has been removed from Southampton’s first team, and at the moment is training alone.
The Dutch defender, who has been linked with Liverpool, didn’t appear during the pre-season friendly against Brentford.
According to Get West London and several major publications, van Dijk is training by himself. One of the most desirable defenders in this transfer window, who has been linked with almost every major club in Europe, has expressed his desire to leave Southampton.
During this summer, Virgil van Dijk was targeted by Liverpool, and the Reds reportedly offered £60 million to sign one of the most talented defenders in the league.
After an illegal approach by the club from Anfield, the Saints were very unpleasant, and they have even considered raising charges against the five-time European champion for this act.
Eventually, Liverpool issued an apology, declaring that they are officially out of the race or Southampton centre-back.
