Liverpool go into a 4 competition campaign with Van Dijk, Konate, Gomez, Leoni and Rhys Williams as their centre back options... Crystal Palace miss out on £35m, but get the chance to play with their captain and key defender for another season... Marc Guehi guarantees himself regular first team football in a World Cup year, could always move in January and might have an opportunity to earn more money in wages in a years time. The losers are Liverpool. But if they were really that bothered, I'm sure they'd have lined up alternatives weeks ago. Must back themselves to land him on a free next summer when Van Dijk is 35 and Konate is out of contract. Maybe, despite all the chat... no one REALLY loses that much?!
