A former football lawyer has claimed Liverpool have opened negotiations with Southampton over Virgil van Dijk.

Liverpool made the Saints defender a top target earlier this summer before they were forced to cease and desist from their attempts to sign the centre-back after the south-coast club complained about a potential 'tapping up'.


Liverpool were forced to offer a hasty apology to Southampton following the complaint before the Premier League ruled they would be taking the matter no further .



France-based lawyer Daniel Vanderkamp worked alongside Liverpool during the deal to sign Christian Benteke from Aston Villa in the summer of 2015, and the South African has now claimed the Reds have held dialogue with Southampton over the transfer of their classy Dutch international.

Vanderkamp tweeted: "Got told things are moving along now with LFC and Southampton.

"I don't know if he's handed in a request, just that the clubs are back negotiating.

I don't know if he's handed in a request, just that the clubs are back negotiating. I don't think he will have to hand in a request either

Great.... like a lawyer who has no discretion... just the type lfc would work with.
 
It's obvious we're trying our damned hardest to sign these 2 players hence nothing else happening. I'm confident that Klopp knows what he's doing.

If they both weren't happening they'd be movement elsewhere, no news at this stage is good news imo.

i feel i may have mentioned this before but surely it would be good news apart from the fact we have no LB.
