Liverpool news: Virgil van Dijk’s woes continue as new Reds Eye transfer chief
Liverpool international stars have had mixed feelings with their country as Virgil van Dijk faces a tough defeat as they target a new transfer boss at Anfield
Liverpool meet Manchester City in a heavyweight duel after returning from the international break.
The Reds beat the champions at Anfield earlier this season but travel to the Etihad – a stadium they haven’t won in several years – in a bid to dash City’s hopes and back their own four aspirations, with Tottenham and Newcastle currently above them. .
Jurgen Klopp recently saw his side lose to Real Madrid in the Champions League and his immediate target will be to get his internationals back to full health when the Euro 2024 qualifiers start.
The Night to Forget by Van Dijk
Virgil van Dijk has admitted being beaten by France is a “huge achievement” as the Liverpool defender is part of a defense that conceded four goals on an embarrassing night.
The Netherlands were torn apart by their opponents in Paris as they started their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign in the worst possible way with a humiliating 4-0 defeat. The Blues put their World Cup disappointment behind them and scored twice in the opening seven minutes, with Van Dijk claiming the game was ‘already over’ by then. He played in a backline alongside Manchester City’s Nathan Ake and former Manchester United target Jurrien Timber, but they were powerless to stop Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann. Van Dijk has been criticized for some of his performances this year and has given a stark assessment of his own team’s efforts.

Klopp’s wardrobe talks 2019
Klopp has given every Liverpool player a chance to voice their concerns in the 2018/19 title race after watching Manchester City spectacularly beat Leicester to close to the trophy.
The Reds and City were locked in a bitter title battle that lasted until the final day. In City’s penultimate game, they hosted the Foxes on a Monday night knowing they had to win if they were to skip Liverpool and return to the top after their victory just 48 hours earlier.
Leicester held on for a long time, but an eternity goal from over 25 yards out from centre-back Vincent Kompany 20 minutes from time sparked Etihad enthusiasm and eventually won the game. The success proved crucial and will have had a draining effect on Liverpool, but Klopp quickly put it to bed.
Liverpool’s recruitment plan
The Reds are targeting transfer guru Paul Mitchell, who is set to leave Monaco this summer but could face competition from Manchester United.
The Reds have already enjoyed success in the transfer market but face a change in personnel in this area of the club. Michael Edwards played a crucial role in recruiting Liverpool alongside Klopp but has since left, while his successor Julian Ward is also expected to leave soon.
Mitchell has now been identified as the perfect man to step in and play a key role in what will be a busy summer of recruitment ahead, as Liverpool look to freshen up their squad. However, United are ready to compete for his services when Sir Jim Ratcliffe becomes their new owner.
