Premier League heavyweights Liverpool have reportedly turned down multiple bids for Sepp van den Berg, a target for several Bundesliga clubs this summer.
According to reputed German journalist Florian Plettenberg, Sepp van den Berg is the subject of interest from several Bundesliga clubs. Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Monchengladbach, FSV Mainz, TSG Hoffenheim, VfB Stuttgart, and VfL Wolfsburg have been interested in signing the 22-year-old Liverpool prospect at different stages of the summer transfer window.
However, the Reds have knocked back multiple proposals to sell the young Dutchman in the summer transfer window, as the bids have not met their valuation. Liverpool will demand around £20-25 million to part ways with van den Berg. In addition, they are happy with the player’s performances during the pre-season campaign thus far.
Sepp van den Berg and his Liverpool frustration
Sepp van den Berg has endured a frustrating spell since joining Liverpool from PEC Zwolle in July 2019. Pundits hyped the move, and fans were ecstatic to no end when the 22-year-old arrived at Anfield half a decade ago. However, the youngster has managed only 271 minutes of game time across four appearances thus far for Liverpool.
Instead, the Dutch defensive prospect has embarked on multiple loan spells away from Liverpool, spending the two most recent campaigns in Germany. Sepp van den Berg’s frustrations have reached a tipping point, and he has been vocal about his desire to leave the Merseyside club in the summer transfer window.
What next?
Sepp van den Berg does not have a shortage of suitors pursuing his signature in the summer transfer window, with multiple Bundesliga clubs setting their sights on him. Recent reports have linked the Dutchman with FSV Mainz, TSG Hoffenheim, and VfL Wolfsburg.
Meanwhile, Florian Plettenberg has revealed some more names, with Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Monchengladbach, and VfB Stuttgart also interested in the 22-year-old at different stages of the summer transfer window. However, no suitor has presented a bid that has matched Liverpool’s valuation of £20-25 million.
The Reds are adamant they will not sell the Dutch defender unless they receive bids in the region of £20-25 million. With Liverpool happy with van den Berg’s performances during the pre-season campaign, they will be happy to keep him if they do not receive offers in their desired valuation.
