Chelsea reportedly investigated Liverpool captain Virgil van Dik’s surprise transfer deal, but found he always thinks he’s likely to sign a new deal.
Van Dyk’s new contract with Liverpool was officially confirmed earlier today, with the Dutch International creating speculation and violating his future for the Reds.
Still, according to the Daily Mail, Chelsea appears to be considering the possibility of signing Van Dick while his future remains uncertain.
Van Dijk is one of the very amazing centre-backs in world football and looks like a great business for Liverpool.
Van Dick imagines that even if he’s not younger, he can easily make an impact at Chelsea.
Virgil van Dyke’s transfer to Chelsea would have been a big blow to Liverpool.
It would have been awfully disappointing for the LFC to lose key players and club legends like Vandic to rival Chelsea.
We’ve seen several big names, perhaps Fernando Torres, who have played at both clubs for years, but it would have been considered a great betrayal for the captain on the side to go from Anfield to Stamford Bridge for free.
It’s not so surprising that Van Dik chose to stay in Liverpool instead, but he certainly may have had a positive impact at Chelsea.
The Blues need a better defender next season after indifferent forms from Levi Corwill, Benoit Badiaser, Trevo Charova and Tosin Adarabioyo.
Meanwhile, the people of West London would have had great hopes for Wesley Fofana, but he had a major injury problem.
Van Dijk may not be suitable for the CFC model of employing young talent over the long term, but he is enough to make an exception.
