    It's just starting.....

    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.

    Got told things are moving along now with LFC and Southampton.

    — Daniel Vanderkamp (@DanVanderkamp)
    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

    It's a strange one...

    I went from thinking it was definitely on, to thinking No chance, to now thinking it's going to happen. Who knows but a lot of people seem to think they know. There's plenty of smoke.

    I don't want to pay 70mil. But it's not my money and people like Kyle Walker are going for 50mil, so perhaps 70mil is about right in this crazy window.

    No one has contacted us since we reported Liverpool (obviously this could change.) Bertrand is still far more likely to go then Van Dijk.

    I still think he is off and reckon it will happen towards the end of the window, don't think it will be to Liverpool though. Have said it a few times on here that he is perfect for City and the way Pep wants to play, so am surprised they haven't shown any/much interest (yet anyway).

    I'm wondering how much their European Financial Fair Play limit will be. Think their going to have to shift some players before many more big purchases

    Beefy, if Bertrand is so keen to **** off, why doesn't he put a transfer request, or hasn't he got the balls to be a man about it?

    Perhaps he should have tried a bit harder last season, he might have had more offers for his services
