Liverpool legend Graeme Souness says that Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola will regret not signing Virgil van Dijk when he had the chance.
The Reds swooped for the Netherlands international centre-back in the winter transfer window of 2018 for a fee of £75 million ($99m) – a record for a defender at the time – but have been richly paid off for their investment, with Van Dijk finishing second in the voting for the 2019 Ballon d’Or having helped his side to Champions League glory.
And Souness believes that if City boss Guardiola could have the time again, he would ensure the defender did not escape his clutches.
