Manchester City to offer £50m for Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk as Pep Guardiola bids to shore up his leaky backline at the Etihad

• Virgil van Dijk has emerged as a January transfer target for Manchester City
  Pep Guardiola is ready to offer £50million for Southampton's centre back
  Discreet talks have taken place over the course of the past two weeks
• City director of football Txiki Begiristain is working on the deal

Manchester City are planning a £50million swoop for Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk.

Discreet talks over a move for the Holland star have taken place over the last two weeks as City position themselves to get a deal done next month.

Van Dijk, 25, is aware of City's interest and would find it difficult to resist the lure of Champions League football.

City's director of football Txiki Begiristain is working on the deal, but if he is unable to do business with Saints next month, the club will continue to monitor Van Dijk's progress ahead of another attempt next summer.

Pep Guardiola's side are beset with defensive problems, having kept just three clean sheets in 17 league games, and the City boss is keen to strengthen his back line next month.

Guardiola wants a central defender with Premier League experience who can go straight into the first team.

Southampton hope to keep their prized asset until at least the summer, but a bid of around £50m could force a change of heart.

That would represent a significant profit on the £13m Saints paid Celtic for Van Dijk in September 2015 and the club have shown before that they are prepared to sell their best players for the right price.

However, Saints are only willing to off-load one of their first-choice centre backs next month, which could scupper Manchester United's expected move for Jose Fonte. Old Trafford boss Jose Mourinho remains keen on signing his Portuguese compatriot, despite closing in on Benfica's Victor Lindelof.

Guardiola has high hopes for academy product Tosin Adarabioyo, 19, and will not hesitate to give the defender more game time if he fails to land Van Dijk next month.

Meanwhile, City have told Sevilla that Samir Nasri will cost £21m if they wish to make his loan permanent.

The situation with Southampton centre-back Virgil van Dijk remains unchanged. Liverpool are ready to pay around £70million for the Dutch defender if Saints relent during the final 24 hours of the window.

If sealing deals for Lemar and Van Dijk proves beyond Liverpool then there may only be outgoings on Thursday.

Mamadou Sakho and Lazar Markovic could leave permanently with Divock Origi likely to join Wolfsburg on loan.

The word from #SaintsFC last night was that it's all very quiet on the Virgil van Dijk front. Wonder how long it'll stay that way

數據, 個個都話佢數據好靚仔

到底佢有咩原因可以值咁貴

24小時內留隊機會繼續轉冷, 宜家去到1賠2.25, 簽利就3賠1........

今鋪真係「對不起, 我愛你」?

liverpool 未有實際行動

The priorities now are Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk (£70m) and Monaco forward.
Thomas Lemar (£75m), though two bids for Lemar have been rejected. Arsenal’s Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (£35m) remains an alternative.
Should those prized targets be landed, it would take their outlay for this window towards £250m.

Having thrashed Arsenal 4-0 to show their potential for the season ahead, Liverpool are now determined to make a statement in the transfer market and were they to land Van Dijk and Lemar it would turn them into genuine title challengers.
The task of having both those players on board by Thursday is complicated. Southampton have made it clear publicly and privately that they will not consider selling Van Dijk, who has been training alone since he handed in a transfer request three weeks ago.

Liverpool withdrew their interest in signing Van Dijk earlier this summer after Southampton asked the Premier League to consider allegations of an illegal approach, but, crucially, Van Dijk’s desire to move to Anfield — and Klopp’s wish to see him in the heart of his defence — has never changed.
Southampton manager Mauricio Pellegrino said at Huddersfield on Saturday that ‘Virgil will be here on September 1’ but relations between club and player are understood to be at an all-time low and he has his heart set on leaving.
It is likely, then, that Liverpool will pursue Van Dijk before the deadline, particularly with Arsenal and Chelsea also waiting in the wings. Should any move materialise, it will be a world record fee for a defender and cost more than £70m.

各位觀眾，利物浦人、前英國拳擊冠軍馬修斯（Derry Mathews），在Twitter聲稱自己在梅爾伍德訓練基地附近遇到荷蘭中衛范戴克（Virgil van Dijk）。
面對不少群眾質疑，馬修斯反駁，「上次我告訴Tony Barrett（利物浦知名足球記者），巴洛特利（Mario Balotelli - Official）跟我問路，他笑我，結果隔天就官宣了。」

Chelsea ready to wait for Virgil Van Dijk as they step up transfer activity before window shuts

Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia has stepped up the club’s bid to land at least three new signings before the transfer window shuts, but the Blues are prepared to play a waiting game over Southampton central defender Virgil van Dijk.

Granovskaia has scheduled a host of back-to-back meetings with clubs and agents this week over Chelsea’s remaining transfer business, with the Blues expecting to be busy over the final 10 days of the window.

Talks are ongoing over Chelsea’s interest in Leicester City midfielder Danny Drinkwater, Arsenal’s Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Everton’s Ross Barkley, despite his injury, and Southampton right-back Cedric Soares.

Inter Milan are braced for a bid from Chelsea for winger Antonio Candreva, while Paris Saint-Germain want to sell right-back Serge Aurier before the window shuts.

But Chelsea will only make a bid for Van Dijk if they get the green light from Southampton, who have insisted the Dutch central defender is not for sale.

Despite Van Dijk handing in a transfer request, Southampton have remained adamant he will not leave this summer after Liverpool were forced to apologise over their pursuit of the player.

Chelsea have made it clear to Southampton they remain interested in signing £60m-rated Van Dijk, but have also agreed to respect the stance of the St Mary’s club until any point that it changes.

It is hoped that by taking a soft approach that Chelsea will put themselves first in line to potentially land Van Dijk if and when Southampton’s stance changes, whether that is before the end of this window, in January or even next summer.

Virgil van Dijk 'not for sale in this window', says Southampton chairman Ralph Krueger

Southampton chairman Ralph Krueger is adamant that Virgil van Dijk is "not for sale in this window", as keeping the defender is "the statement we need to make" at this juncture.

Liverpool heavily pursued a deal for Van Dijk at the start of the summer transfer window, but were forced to drop their interest after Southampton reported them to the Premier League for an alleged illegal approach.

Sky Sports News understands Chelsea and Manchester City are also interested in the defender, who signed a new long-term contract last year.

Last week, Van Dijk took matters into his own hands by handing in a transfer request but Krueger has reiterated that the Netherlands international is not going anywhere.

"Virgil is not for sale in this window and it's not personal," the chairman said, just days after the Gao family bought an 80 per cent stake in the club.

"It's not about him, it's about an overall much, much, much bigger picture - a change of course for Southampton.

"The first summer I was here five players went out and six went in, not counting academy. Second summer three went out, seven came in, and third summer five went out, five came in.

"Now it is one out and two in, and this is who we want to become.

"We want to mature, we want to be a team that can profit from synergies that create a much more attractive football and a better product for the fans, and gives us a chance to get back into Europe.

"That's one player in this whole equation of 25 and it is the visible one, but for us it's the principle and it's the path and it's the statement we need to make to get to a new space as a club.

"We are very, very adamant about carrying this through.

"The new partnership has completely and wholly backed our strategy and plan and on September 1 people will see how serious we were and are."

Van Dijk has been training away from the main group as he attempts to force an exit but Krueger is confident the defender can be integrated successfully back into the first-team squad and accepted, if not forgiven, by supporters.

"Well, first of all, they have experienced it here before on multiple occasions and it hasn't been a problem," Krueger said.

"I can go back to Morgan Schneiderlin in our first summer and I could list others, but let's not do that.

"We've had other examples of that where it was no problem, so I don't see that as a problem."
