Liverpool defender Sepp van den Berg has hinted at a probable departure from the club at the end of the current season. Despite arriving at Anfield with a strong reputation, the 22-year-old has ꜱtгuggled to secure a regular spot in Liverpool’s first team, making just four appearances for the club since joining in 2019. Van den Berg has spent time on loan at various clubs, including Preston, Schalke, and FSV Mainz 05, where he has demonstrated his abilities with 21 Bundesliga appearances and two goals this season.

In a recent interview with Voetbal Nieuws, Van den Berg acknowledged the challenges of competing for playing time, especially with established defenders like Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate in the squad. He expressed a desire for regular playing opportunities, suggesting that if he feels limited upon his return to Liverpool in the summer of 2024, he might opt to leave. 

Despite his impressive loan performances, brеɑkinɡ into the starting lineup at Liverpool appears challenging due to the solid form of defensive pillars Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate, along with the emergence of Jarell Quansah in the current season.
