Last season, Sepp van den Berg was a regular player on loan at Mainz. However, recent news suggests that his time with Liverpool may be coming to an end. PSV Eindhoven made a bid for the defender, but it was immediately turned down by the Reds. According to reports, Liverpool is asking for an asking price of £20m, which Van den Berg believes is too high.
The 22-year-old joined Liverpool in 2019, but has only made four appearances for the first team, all in domestic cup competitions. He has also spent time on loan at Preston, Schalke, and most recently at Mainz, where he made 33 appearances in the Bundesliga. However, with the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Jarell Quansah, and Joe Gomez in the squad, Van den Berg is looking for more regular first team action.
It seems likely that Van den Berg will leave Anfield in search of more playing time. Fabrizio Romano reported that PSV made a bid of around €10m, but it was rejected by Liverpool. The Reds are said to want more than double that amount for the young defender, and Van den Berg himself believes that it is a high asking price.
Arne Slot has recently taken over as Liverpool's new coach and has already begun working with the squad. Van den Berg hopes to impress the new boss during pre-season and secure a spot in the team. His dream scenario is to continue playing for Liverpool, one of the biggest clubs in the world. However, he understands that his priority is to play regularly and will consider other options if necessary.
During pre-season, Van den Berg has been involved in friendlies and is determined to catch the eye of his new manager. He is enjoying the fresh training and new style of play under Slot's leadership. The 22-year-old has expressed his happiness at the moment, but acknowledges that it is still early and anything can happen. Playing for Liverpool remains his dream, but ultimately, his main focus is on getting game time.
