Liverpool remained firm on their £20 million valuation for Sepp van den Berg, making a potential transfer to PSV Eindhoven challenging. The club swiftly rejected PSV’s recent offer for the Dutch defender, signaling a possible standoff in the transfer market.
Sepp van den Berg joined Liverpool in 2019. He attracted interest from PSV Eindhoven after a successful loan stint at Mainz.
Though he is eager to leave Liverpool permanently, citing broken promises, PSV’s initial bid of approximately €10 million (£8.4 million) was turned down according to Fabrizio Romano.
Another source, Eindhoven’s Dagblad, suggested a higher bid just over €12 million (£10.1 million), still far from Liverpool’s desired £20 million to £25 million range.
The renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano reported Liverpool’s firm stance on van den Berg’s price, which the player himself criticized as excessively high, claiming it impends his career prospects.
Liverpool Hinder The Move Of Van den Berg
During the pre-season, van den Berg voiced his concern again regarding the steep price tag Liverpool have placed on him.
“I know in today’s market [high prices] will happen. But the price they want for me?
Hmm… Liverpool may think it is right as I had a good season.
If they want £20-£25m, that is a lot more.
Hopefully we can find a way. Maybe I stay, maybe I go.
The first reaction from me is that it was quite high! It is also a compliment. But it makes it difficult, £20m is majorly high.”
Slot’s keenness to evaluate van den Berg’s talents this summer hints that Liverpool might play hardball. Liverpool are refusing to let him go unless their financial demands are met.
Meanwhile, the young defender’s future dangles precariously in the balance, with his heart clearly set on a new adventure away from Anfield’s hallowed grounds.
As the transfer drama intensifies, the spotlight is firmly on Liverpool and PSV. Will they find a middle ground, or will van den Berg remain a reluctant Red under Slot’s watchful eye?
This situation perfectly captures the tangled web of player transfers, where personal ambitions, club strategies, and cold hard cash often collide.
