David Ornstein has confirmed Liverpool offer has been made to sign up world class act
There has been an offer made to Virgil Van Dijk in a bid to keep hold of the Dutchman at the end of the season, The Athletic’s David Ornstein has claimed speaking on Back Pages:
At the very beginning of the summer window, LIVERPOOL lost Jurgen Klopp and quickly replaced him with Dutchman Arne Slot, who has a big reputation in the game of football.
That also led to all sorts of speculation and rumours in the media that Slot would be backed by the board and will be able to sign a number of players to help him play the kind of football that he likes, but so far, no signing has been made.
However – the club have not yet been able to agree a new deal with one of their star players as The Dutch centre-back’s current deal expires next summer, and there has been alot of speculation that he could leave the club.
Now Ornsetein has opened up and revealed there is an offer for Van Dijk, it was just not the one he was hoping for: “An offer has gone to Virgil van Dijk, which hasn’t happened so far with Mo Salah. I do expected Salah to receive an offer very soon. Why he hasn’t so far and Van Dijk has is something maybe only Liverpool can explain.
“Perhaps they are prioritising their captain, perhaps the gap between what they are prepared to offer Salah and what he wants is such that you don’t go to him with a proposal if you fear it may antagonise him.
“In the case of Van Dijk, talks have been going on for some time and, within that, an offer has been made; an opening proposal.
“It’s understood it fell below his expectations and, so far, there is no breakthrough on either the value of a potential new deal or the duration of it. That’s not to say it won’t happen and talks are continuing.
“Fenway Sports Group, the ownership, have a big decision to make. It breaks their policy to go big on a contract for over 30-year-old players, which both of them are.”
