The ongoing transfer rumors surrounding Liverpool, which have recently been dominated by Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, have been addressed by Virgil van Dijk.
Virgil van Dijk has acknowledged that he is aware of all the current Liverpool transfer rumors and believes that the team will continue to bolster its roster before the window closes in September.
The Reds have already lost several key players this summer, including Jordan Henderson and Fabinho who unexpectedly left for Saudi Arabia. Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai are the only newcomers. As a result, on the eve of the new season, Jurgen Klopp’s team is still without a holding midfielder.
Although there have been attempts to fill the void, Liverpool had three offers for Romeo Lavia rejected by Southampton before making a club-record bid of £110 million for Moises Caicedo of Brighton. While the Seagulls agreed to that initial offer, reports now claim Chelsea is closing in on the Ecuadorian international with a £115 million move.
This summer, the Reds have unavoidably been the subject of a lot of transfer rumors as they attempt to complete a long-overdue midfield makeover. Liverpool has been linked with numerous other players, despite the recent attention being focused on Caicedo and Lavia.
Van Dijk expressed his confidence in the club to bolster Klopp’s squad this summer in a press conference prior to the Reds’ away Premier League opener at Chelsea. While acknowledging his knowledge of the rumors, he was coy about them.
Any top club right now would love to improve their squad, the Dutchman told a select group of reporters, including the ECHO, ahead of Sunday’s game.
“The thing is, whether we need to sign a player for a particular position, yes or no,” he said.
We all want quality signings, and that’s what we’ve done so far, so why wouldn’t we players want to strengthen our squad as well? Consequently, we have confidence in the club. I have complete confidence in the club. Why not now as well? They did quite well over the previous years.
“If you follow social media or anything else, the names can make you dizzy. As a result, I believe that nowadays, everyone uses names just to be the first to do so. They try to guess names to add fuel to the fire and other things, and that’s how the internet operates.
“And you know, as I already said, we trust the club; we play for the club, and we trust the club to act in the best interests of the club. We’ll see what transpires over the course of the next few weeks.
“If you watch social media, if you watch everything else, and you see us linked to nearly every midfielder in the world or any other player—everyone is a sporting director these days on social media—then you know you get dizzy, so just wait and see.”.
We have experts working on it. And I trust the club, as I already said. And that’s what matters most. “.
Van Dijk expressed his delight at the Reds’ completed business thus far, having brought in Mac Allister and Szoboszlai, even though he did not directly address Liverpool’s pursuits of Caicedo and Lavia.
Even though he admits it will take time for Klopp’s new-look team to gel completely, he has already seen enough of the pair to be optimistic about the future.
It goes without saying that he was thrilled to see the new players. They are good people of the highest caliber, and they can undoubtedly advance the club.
It will undoubtedly take some time, but that is to be expected; hopefully, it will occur as soon as possible. However, they will encounter both the enjoyable and challenging aspects of the games as they play.
They’ll improve, and we all understand one another every day much better than we did before, so I think it’s going to be exciting. “.
