Virgil van Dijk seems to be considered an important winter transfer target for Manchester City, but there are more candidates for the defender of Southampton. Liverpool was associated with the Orange international throughout the summer and would like to try again, while Arsenal would also be interested. Chelsea is also interested in Van Dijk, and Antonio Conte hopes that the Blues City will be able to cope.
Every team, every club, must be extremely attentive. Because when a club like Manchester City takes all the good players, it becomes very difficult for us to keep fighting. Not only in England, but also in Europe “, the Italian speaks with reporters to the rest of the top Premier League clubs.
If Manchester City can continue to do this, they also have the right to do it. We must respect that. If you have the chance to enter the market and spend a lot of money, I think it is also the right thing to do. Of course, you have to be very good at spending your money in this way, sometimes you can spend a lot of money in the wrong way. You have to be smart to understand which positions and roles you need to improve. In this case you have to be very good.
Van Dijk didn’t come into action last Saturday for Southampton, who lost 1-0 on Stamford Bridge. The defender is still under contract with the Saints until mid-2022 and was on his way to Liverpool last summer, but after criticism from Southampton he withdrew from the race. Interested parties are said to have to pay EUR 80 million, which would make Van Dijk by far the most expensive defender of all time.
What do you think is the best destination for Virgil van Dijk?
