Instagram user @philipuby had uploaded the picture of Van Dijk leaning back in a chair with a caption that read: ‘big dog’ ‘LONDON’.

However, Liverpool also have an office in London and this could also mean that the Dutchman is currently negotiating personal terms with the Reds.

Unfortunately for fans of both teams, the picture was later deleted, but it has only added more fire to transfer rumours – with the centre-back keen to make a move this summer.

Despite Van Dijk’s desire to part ways with the Saints, the club bosses are not willing to let him leave this summer.

Manchester City are also interested in the Dutch centre-back

FootTheBall sources reveal that Manchester City are also interested in roping in the services of the Dutchman and could launch a bid well over £60million.

The Kruegers are adamant that Van Dijk will not be sold this summer

But club chairman Ralph Krueger insisted that he would not succumb to pressure amid growing interest in their star player, saying: “Nobody is for sale that we don’t want to sell and so he is not for sale in this window. We have said it more than once.”

New boss Mauricio Pellegrino is confident he can keep his star man put

“Mauricio Pellegrino has done an amazing job of dealing with this situation. It has not disrupted our team.”

“It has not in any way caused a lack of focus in training, in the locker room, and of course everybody will open their arms when Virgil comes back and we go at it.”
