Liverpool Set to Sell Sepp van den Berg to Brentford in £20 Million Deal
Liverpool is reportedly nearing an agreement to sell young Dutch defender Sepp van den Berg to Brentford for a fee exceeding £20 million. The 22-year-old, who joined Liverpool in 2019, has found limited first-team opportunities at Anfield, managing just four senior appearances. He spent last season on loan at Bundesliga side Mainz, where his performances attracted attention.
Despite impressing during pre-season, Liverpool’s management, led by new sporting director Richard Hughes, decided it was the right time to cash in on the promising center-back. Brentford, seeking defensive reinforcements, sees van den Berg as a key signing. This deal follows another significant transfer between the clubs this summer, with Fabio Carvalho also joining Brentford for around £27.5 million.
Liverpool fans have reacted with surprise and approval at the transfer fee, praising the club’s ability to negotiate such a lucrative deal for a player who hasn’t established himself in the first team. The funds raised from van den Berg’s sale could potentially be reinvested into strengthening other areas of the squad
