A Liverpool player is reportedly keen on joining a UEFA Champions League side after an approach in recent days.
The transfer window has been a quiet one for the Reds this summer, with Liverpool yet to complete a major signing nor see a first-team player leave for any sort of transfer fee, with Thiago Alcantara and Joel Matip both leaving as free-agents.
Although Liverpool have been linked with Anthony Gordon, the current climate seems to suggest that the Anfield side won’t be making any signings this summer unless something big happens in the final days of the market.
Yet one Liverpool player could be on the move after an approach from a Champions League side.
Sepp van den Berg wants PSV Eindhoven move after transfer approach
According to Eindhovens Dagblad, Sepp van den Berg wants a move to PSV Eindhoven after the reigning Dutch champions made an approach to sign the Liverpool defender.
Van den Berg has been valued at £20m this summer with Liverpool potentially open to selling the Dutch youngster, who this pre-season has impressed under Arne Slot after a second year away in the Bundesliga on loan.
With Van den Berg open to a move back home to the Netherlands, though, there’s a real chance that Liverpool could be powerless in their attempts to keep the defender on Merseyside if PSV were to come in with a good bid for the 22-year-old.
With the Dutch giants in next season’s Champions League, the prospect of playing regular football with PSV could be a tempting one for Van den Berg, especially if the youngster won’t be considered a starter for Liverpool under Slot.
Liverpool could make some serious profit from selling Van den Berg
Van den Berg has been one of the breakout stars for Liverpool this summer on their pre-season tour of the United States, with the defender making a real claim to be involved in Slot’s senior plans for the new campaign.
Yet if PSV were to match Liverpool’s £20m demands for Van den Berg, the Reds could make some serious profit from selling Van den Berg, who is seemingly tempted with the prospect of returning back to Holland.
Indeed, the defender has shown he’s ready to take the next step in his career this summer, and a move to PSV could be exactly what Van den Berg needs to unlock his exciting potential away from Liverpool.
