Settle down man.
“Liverpool Football Club would like to put on record our regret over recent media speculation regarding Southampton Football Club and player transfers between the two clubs,” said the statement. “We apologise to the owner, board of directors and fans of Southampton for any misunderstanding regarding Virgil van Dijk. We respect Southampton’s position and can confirm we have ended any interest in the player.”
An arse covering manoeuvre cos Liverpool are under an actual investigation for tapping up a 13Yr old player. Statement appeases Saints and everyone can move on. No admission of talking directly to the player.
We could have pulled out the exact same card v Barca. Van Dijk just like Coutinho, shouldn't have signed a 5 year deal.
