Chelsea have been encouraged in their pursuit of Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk.
The Sun says Liverpool are prepared to give up on their pursuit of Van Dijk – leaving Chelsea free to pounce.
The Southampton defender – who is currently training alone – is wanted by both Premier League clubs this summer and will likely cost upwards of £50million.
But Jurgen Klopp is now ready to give up the chase and place his faith in his current back-four.
Reports suggest Southampton would rather sell to Chelsea than Liverpool after accusing the Reds of tapping up their star man.
Chelsea are ready to bid £50m for Van Dijk.
