22-year-old Dutch defender Sepp van den Berg will leave Anfield without having played a game after bids from both Bayer Leverkusen and Brentford were accepted. The talented centre-back will leave after four years of loan spells at Schalke 04, Preston North End and last season with Mainz 05.
The transfer money will be a welcome windfall for Liverpool boss Arne Slot, who is not finished on the transfer market himself just yet. The reported fee that Liverpool will receive is £20 million up front and a further £5 million over three years, both transfer bids have been accepted.
The Zwolle-born defender had hoped to kickstart his Liverpool career under fellow countryman Slot, but the manager has instead decided to show the centre-back the door. Comfortable operating at right-back as well as the central defence role, he is an extremely versatile player that will be a welcome addition to any squad. The player has 8 caps for the Netherlands under-21 side, scoring one goal.
It is understood that at this stage, the defender would prefer a move to Premier League outfit Brentford.
