Manchester City baulked at the £75 million price tag Southampton demanded for defender Virgil van Dijk from Southampton last season because they thought it was unrealistic, a new documentary has revealed.
The Dutch centre-back went on to join Liverpool for the same fee but in City's new Amazon Prime series, "All or Nothing," it is revealed that they had considered making a move for the 27-year-old.
Chairman Khaldoon Al-Mubarak and director of football Txiki Begiristain are seen having a conversation in January about new signings following an injury to John Stones, and during discussions over Van Dijk, Al-Mubarak was hesitant over the fee wanted by Southampton.
