Brentford are reportedly in talks with Liverpool over the potential signing of Sepp van den Berg with Bayer Leverkusen also said to be in line for his signature.
The 22-year-old made an impression when on loan at Mainz last season and was a constant in Arne Slot’s preseason lineups. However, it appears that he will be leaving this summer.
The Dutch defender has four experienced defenders ahead of him at Liverpool, so it’s no surprise that he’s been linked to a summer exit after being subjected to bids from PSV Eindhoven.
As stated by Sky and reported by Liverpool World, Leverkusen and Brentford are all serious candidates, and the Reds rumored to have increased their asking price to £25 million.
Transfer expert, Florian Plettenberg also reported on X:” Excl | Bayer 04 Leverkusen have contacted FC Liverpool regarding a possible acquisition of Sepp van den Berg. Leverkusen’s interest has finally materialized when it was revealed that Van den Berg was on their list.”
“Been told that Liverpool demand £25m now! Brentford, also there with concrete talks as via @David_Ornstein. Leverkusen and Brentford, both clubs now in contact with #LFC to find solutions and agreements.”

Nat Phillips may possibly leave, while youngster Bobby Clark is almost certain to leave the team after the Reds agreed a £10 million fee with RB Salzburg.
