  Virgil Van Dijk Is Awaiting For Liverpool's  Offer For His Services As He Finally Handover Transfer Request. 

   Virgil Van Dijk is awaiting a Liverpool offer for his services, with the Dutch man still extremely keen on a move to Anfield this summer, according to the Daily Mirror.

On Monday, Van Dijk released a statement via his agency Wasserman which revealed that the player has submitted a written transfer request to Southampton.

  “ I want to play European football again and challenge for major honours. As such I would like Southampton to consider the interest in me from top clubs should it still exist.”

  Liverpool’s interest in Van Dijk went public in June, when the Reds were forced to release an apology statement regarding their pursuit of their top summer transfer target, after Southampton reported Liverpool to the Premier League for an alleged illegal approach of their player.

  

  However, Liverpool have not made moves for any other centre-back’s and Jürgen Klopp remains keen on signing Van Dijk this summer.

If and when it becomes clear that Southampton are open to offers for their captain, then the Reds will lodge a bid which would shatter their current transfer record and make Van Dijk the most expensive defender on the planet.

  Chelsea are also said to be lining up a bid for the ex-Celtic man, but Van Dijk remains keen on working with Jürgen Klopp and believes a move to Liverpool is the next best step for his career. The Daily Mirror’s Darren Lewis believes Van Dijk is desperate to get his preferred move to Anfield.
