Seems it needs a very high fee to get Van Dijk. Still the Groningen chairman doesn't rule out selling van Dijk. It's all part of the negotiations.
Van Dijk had a great game yesterday, but Groningen isn't in the position to reject a very good offer for van Dijk, the club is running at a loss...
Basically that means we've contaced Groningen in a proper way. Not sure why he says that.
Brighton sill is the only team who made a serious offer for Van Dijk.
Dutch footballwebsites talking about the FC Groningen Chairman expecting a new higher bid from Brighton soon.
According to the player agent Van Dijk is very interested in moving here.
Groningen invested a lot of money in new players after the sold Tadic to Twente. Dutch teams don't have that much money, lots of debts. Transferprices are not as high as in England, but I guess they would still demand about 3 or 4 million, or maybe even more.
It's on a FC Groningen website. He would prefer this step, as he know he needs to play games to develop into a better player. The chance of being a regular stater is bigger here than at some premier league teams.
Seen quite a lot of games of FC Groningen this year. Would be a very good signing.
I understood that Van Dijk is interested in moving to Brighton. Very talented defender, he has been linked with big Dutch teams like PSV eindhoven.
Still he would need some time to adept to the English football. Roland Bergkamp was also considered being a big prospect, but went to see him play...
