Southampton To Report Liverpool To FA Over Virgil Van Dijk Approach
Southampton will report Liverpool to the Premier League over a claimed illicit approach for center back Virgil van Dijk, reports BBC Radio Solent.
The 25-year-old wants to move to Anfield in the event that he leaves St Mary's.
The £50m-evaluated Netherlands defender signed another six-year contract a year ago, having joined Southampton from Celtic for £13m in September 2015.
Liverpool are yet to formally approach Saints to request authorization to address Van Dijk.
The Reds refused to comment on renewed speculation on Monday, while Southampton are adamant they do not need to sell the defender.
Saints are disturbed by what they see as an endeavor to unsettle Van Dijk and are prepared to dismiss an official offer.
Chelsea and Manchester City have both been vigorously connected with the Dutchman, tho City's advantage has cooled as they are not set up to pay as high an expense as Liverpool.
Previous club Celtic are likewise believed to have a 10% offer on assention.
Van Dijk missed the last five months of the season subsequent to an ankle injury sustained after a challenge by Leicester City's Jamie Vardy in Southampton's 3-0 win at St Mary's on 22 January.
It made him miss Southampton's EFL Cup final loss to Manchester United at Wembley.
