As they make steady progress, Liverpool may incorporate a 6ft4in prospect in their first team plans

Arne Slot, the new manager of Liverpool, has been honing the team’s preparations in advance of the Premier League season.

There are just two games left for the Reds before their campaign begins on August 17; they have already won two of their preseason friendlies.

Although Liverpool hasn’t started the transfer market yet, there’s a big probability they will want to add players after Slot has had an opportunity to completely evaluate his squad.

Over the next few weeks, the Reds will need to consider possible additions to the first team, departures, and promotions.

A young Liverpool periphery player may now be able to play for Slot’s senior team this season, according to Sky Sports, given his remarkable development.

Sepp ven den Berg might be elevated to the first team.

Sepp van den Berg, the player in question, has been getting better and better over the last few years.

Van den Berg moved from Dutch team FC Zwolle to Liverpool back in 2019, but during that time he has only played four senior Reds games.

While on Liverpool’s roster, the 22-year-old Dutchman played for Preston North End, Schalke, and Mainz during three loan stints.

The latter club is eager to sign the Reds ace on a permanent basis because Van den Berg performed so well there last season.

The 6’4″ defender would cost £20 million, but Mainz manager Christian Heidel acknowledged that his team cannot afford to pay that amount.

Liverpool has been extremely impressed with Sepp van den Berg’s progress, as Sky Sports has confirmed.

According to the allegation, they will only allow him to leave the club if their worth of about £20 million is satisfied.

According to reports, PSV Eindhoven made an offer last week of about £10 million, but the Reds turned it down. Although no official offers have been made, numerous Bundesliga clubs are rumoured to be interested in Van den Berg as well.

Van den Berg will be included in Slot’s first team roster if Liverpool’s valuation is not satisfied, the source continued.

In the event that Joe Gomez departs, he might end up being the fourth-choice centre defender for Liverpool.

Van den Berg’s future is full of fascinating possibilities.

Van den Berg should be commended for both his preseason performance and his success while on loan.

According to earlier reports, Van den Berg’s maturity and technical skill astounded Slot and his coaching team.

Van den Berg has also reportedly impressed Fabrizio Romano during Liverpool’s training sessions under Slot.

Gomez is likely to depart Liverpool this summer because he is keen to start regularly, something that Anfield doesn’t seem to be able to provide.

Van den Berg might then be able to replace him, however it’s unclear if, having experienced first-team football, he would prefer to stick as a backup.
