Virgil van Dijk is missing in the selection of Southampton for the duel with Tottenham Hotspur. It therefore seems that the defender did not travel to Wembley because he is standing at the Saints for a departure.
The Telegraph reported earlier on Tuesday that Southampton and Manchester City are almost agreed on an amount of about 68 million euros. If this transfer sum is correct, then the 26-year-old Van Dijk will not only be the most expensive Dutchman ever, but also the most expensive defender of all time.
Van Dijk, who was still under contract with Southampton until mid 2022, also had no action against Chelsea (1-0 loss) and was against Huddersfield Town (1-1) in the gallery,”We are not dependent on a single player. Virgil did not participate because this time I chose this team,”said manager Mauricio Pellegrino after the duel with Huddersfield.
Do you think Virgil goes from Dijk to Manchester City?
