Virgil van Dijk has informed Liverpool they are his preferred destination.

Jurgen Klopp made Van Dijk a top priority this summer. The center back is seeking a move from Southampton and also received interest from Chelsea and Manchester City. The presence of Klopp has made a significant impact on Van Dijk's decision. 

Liverpool are willing to pay a world-record sum for a defender – expected to be around £60 million ($77 million).
