The race for Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk is reigniting.

Liverpool retain interest in the Dutchman after failing to prise him away from Saints over the weekend.

The Sun says Southampton boss Mauricio Pellegrino certainly expects more bids for Liverpool target van Dijk and could decide to rebuild.

Barcelona sent scouts to watch centre-back Van Dijk during Holland's win over Sweden, when he played 90 minutes.

Chelsea are also watching developments closely.
