It appears that Sepp van den Berg's time at Liverpool may be coming to an end. The talented defender, who joined the Premier League giants five years ago, has only made four appearances for the club. According to reports, he is set to leave this summer, with a £20 million offer from Brentford currently on the table.
As Liverpool focus on offloading players rather than bringing in new ones, van den Berg joins the list of departures which includes Fabio Carvalho, Adrian, Joel Matip, and Thiago Alcantara. However, it seems that Brentford's long-standing interest in the Dutchman has finally paid off, as they look to add a strong center-back to their squad.
While Bundesliga sides Mainz and Wolfsburg have previously shown interest in van den Berg, it seems that Brentford's good relationship with Liverpool, thanks to their previous signing of Carvalho, may have given them the edge in this deal. The Bees have been impressed by the defender's performances in pre-season and are eager to bring him on board.
Van den Berg spent last season on loan at Mainz, and it was hoped that he would have a chance to showcase his skills in pre-season under new manager Arne Slot. However, he was noticeably absent from the team's first competitive game against Ipswich, and it seems that he may not have a future with Liverpool.
Despite only making four appearances for the club, van den Berg still has two years left on his contract. He has previously had loan spells at Preston, Schalke, and Mainz, but has struggled to break into the first team at Liverpool. His limited playing time includes just 271 minutes and a Club World Cup medal, but he has yet to make an appearance in the Premier League.
It seems that the talented defender's time at Liverpool may be coming to an end, as he looks to secure a permanent move to Brentford. As the Bees continue their search for a strong center-back, they hope to capitalize on their good relations with Liverpool and bring van den Berg on board. It remains to be seen if this deal will go through, but for now, it seems that van den Berg's future lies away from Anfield.
