"Liverpool Echo" claims that "Liverpool" club will make every effort this summer to attract 25-year-old center-back Virgil van Dijk to the team.
The team managed by Jurgen Klopp has had problems with the center-back position throughout this season, so the "Reds" are prepared to pay a large sum of money for a player in this position.
According to the mentioned source, "Liverpool" is willing to even pay a record sum for the "Southampton" defender. The "Saints" value the Dutchman at 50 million pounds sterling, and it seems that the "Reds" are inclined to pay this amount.
Before that, the record "Liverpool" purchase was Andy Carroll, when in 2011 they acquired him from "West Ham" for 35 million pounds sterling.
Unable to play due to injury recently, V. van Dijk managed to play 30 games this season and score four goals.
