Liverpool could be set to lose another player this summer following the departures of Joel Matip, Thiago Alcantara, and Adrian. The club is undergoing significant changes, starting with Jurgen Klopp’s decision to leave. Klopp has been replaced by Arne Slot, who is preparing for his debut season in English football.
One of Liverpool’s defenders, Sepp van den Berg, is now the top transfer target for PSV Eindhoven, a Champions League club. According to a report from the Dutch publication Eindhovens Dagblad, PSV is ready to make van den Berg their record signing this summer. The 22-year-old defender is highly regarded by the Dutch giants, who are willing to invest heavily to strengthen their backline.
With Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konaté, Joe Gomez, and Jarrel Quansah already in Liverpool’s defensive lineup, van den Berg is unlikely to get many opportunities to prove himself. After an impressive loan spell at Mainz last season, he is eager for a new challenge and more playing time.
PSV is prepared to spend around €16 million to secure van den Berg, which would make him their record signing. The Dutch Eredivisie champions see him as the ideal addition to their squad.
Since joining Liverpool in 2019, van den Berg has made only four appearances and has spent most of his time on loan. Despite his limited opportunities at Anfield, he has earned praise for his leadership qualities and performances during his loan spells. Now, he feels it is the right time to move on and continue his career elsewhere.
A transfer to PSV would provide van den Berg with more playing time and a better platform to showcase his skills. Staying at Liverpool would likely result in limited opportunities, so a move away seems to be the best option for his development and future prospects.
