Liverpool has agreed upon a £75 million ($100.6 million) fee with Southampton for Virgil van Dijk.
The fee is a word record for a defender. Liverpool nearly signed Van Dijk during the summer for £60 million.
Saints only paid £11.5 million for Van Dijk in 2015.
“Liverpool football club can confirm they have reached an agreement with Southampton for the transfer of Virgil van Dijk,” read an official statement. “The Reds have agreed a deal with the south coast club, and the player himself, that will see the 26-year-old defender move to Anfield when the transfer window re-opens on 1 January 2018.”
