Southampton coach Mauricio Pellegrino unsure over Van Dijk future with the club
Jurgen Klopp has been given the green light to make a new bid for Southampton star Virgil van Dijk .
Liverpool were forced to make an apology to Saints after their failed attempt to sign the £70million-rated Dutch centre-back in the summer.
But Anfield boss Klopp will get a close up view of the player he still believes can help solve his defensive problems as he will be in the dug-out for the home game against Southampton on Saturday after recovering from his midweek health scare.
Saints' first-year boss Mauricio Pellegrino admitted on Thursday he could not guarantee Van Dijk will still be at the club when the January transfer window closes.
“I don’t know. I can’t control the market said Pellegrino.
“You never know, because when we talk about money everybody has got a price.
