Liverpool are ready to sanction the departure of Sepp van den Berg as they have accepted two £25 million bids from Brentford and Bayer Leverkusen.
According to a report from De Telegraaf, Sepp van den Berg is all set to part ways with Liverpool as they have accepted £25 million bids from Brentford as well as Bayer Leverkusen. The Dutch defensive prospect is expected to make the final call within the next 24 hours.
Van den Berg made a name for himself at PEC Zwolle before moving to Anfield as a teenager back in 2019. The 22-year-old centre-back has spent a significant amount of time out on loan in search of regular first-team action.
He has spent the last two seasons out on loan in Germany. Last season, van den Berg was with FSV Mainz, who have looked to re-sign him this summer, and he did put in some incredible performances in the heart of the defence. While the Dutchman is back at his parent club and still has two years left on his deal, his future has been uncertain for some time.
The Reds are ready to offer him a new deal with improved wages. But they cannot guarantee him game time, while the player wants regular first-team action. Arne Slot would love to have him around, but he would be a third or fourth-choice centre-back. As a result, the youngster seeks a move away and there has been interest in his services from across Europe.
Liverpool accept bids from Bayer Leverkusen and Brentford
While PSV and Feyenoord were also keeping an eye on his situation, Liverpool’s demands were beyond their capabilities. Bayer Leverkusen and Brentford are the two clubs that have been working hard to sign the youngster. Both clubs recently submitted a £25 million to sign the 22-year-old, and their offer has been accepted by the Reds.
He has already proven himself in the Bundesliga, and Xabi Alonso wants him at his disposal at Leverkusen. The former Liverpool midfielder has already held talks with the youngster as he looks to convince him about a move. Meanwhile, Brentford are ready to offer him the chance to play every week.
Thomas Frank has made it clear that van den Berg is welcomed to the club, and they have big plans for him. Since Liverpool have accepted bids from both clubs who are offering him a five-year contract with a considerable increase in wages, the decision is now in the hands of the player. He is expected to decide on his future in the next 24 hours. While the Reds would have loved to have him around, his departure will given them funds to reinvest into the squad.
