PSV Eindhoven eyes record-breaking transfer for Sepp van den Berg
PSV Eindhoven is ready to break their transfer record to bring Sepp van den Berg from Liverpool this summer. Under the guidance of manager Peter Bosz, the Dutch giants have identified Van den Berg as their top target to improve their defense.
The 22-year-old has caught the eye of several clubs after an impressive loan spell at Mainz 05, where he showcased his talents as one of the best young central defenders in Europe. His performances have not gone unnoticed, and PSV is keen to make a significant investment to secure his services.
PSV has reportedly tabled an offer of €16 million (£13.4 million) for Van den Berg, which would surpass their current record transfer fee of €15 million (£12.6 million) spent on Hirving Lozano. However, Liverpool’s asking price is set at €20 million (£16.8 million), indicating that the negotiations might take some time.
Liverpool, under the leadership of CEO of Football Michael Edwards, has a history of securing lucrative deals for their players. Edwards, known for his shrewd business acumen, has already made substantial profits for the Reds through smart sales.
Van den Berg, who joined Liverpool from PEC Zwolle for just £1.3 million in 2019, could be another example of Edwards’ knack for turning a profit.
Despite the potential for a record-breaking deal, Liverpool’s manager Jurgen Klopp might be reluctant to part ways with the talented young defender. Van den Berg has shown promise in pre-season and could be a valuable asset for the Reds, especially with the club seeking reinforcements at the back.
As the transfer window progresses, it remains to be seen whether PSV’s determination will be enough to lure Van den Berg away from Anfield.
With interest from other clubs like VfB Stuttgart and Bologna, the Dutchman’s future is poised to be one of the most intriguing transfer sagas this summer.
