The club are ready to break their transfer record to sign the Reds star

Liverpool could be in line to lose another player this summer following the departures of Joel Matip, Thiago Alcantara and Adrian.

The Reds are going through major changes this summer, which started when Jurgen Klopp decided to leave the club.

The German manager has been replaced by Arne Slot, who has now taken charge of the club and is preparing to start his life in English football.

The Merseyside club could lose one of their defenders this summer after the Champions League club made him their number one transfer target.

According to a report from Dutch publication Eindhovens Dagblad, PSV Eindhoven are set to sign Liverpool defender Sepp van den Berg as a record signing this summer.

The 22-year-old is seen as the perfect prospect by the Dutch giants, who are willing to go to great lengths to secure his signature to improve their backline.

The Reds already have Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konaté, Joe Gomez and Jarrel Quansah as centre-backs in the new season and are highly unlikely to see van den Berg get a chance to prove himself.

The defender is keen on a move away from the club after impressing during a loan spell at Mainz last season.

The Dutch Eredivisie champions are willing to spend around 16 million euros for the Liverpool player.

It would be PSV’s record signing if they manage to land the defender this summer.

van den Berg joined Liverpool in 2019 but made just four appearances for the club and spent most of his time away from Anfield on loan.

The Liverpool defender wants to leave for a new challenge

The defender impressed during his loan spell and attracted interest from Mainz and PSV.

He has been praised for his leadership qualities on the pitch and the defender feels it is now time to say goodbye to Liverpool for a new chapter in his career.

A move away from Anfield would suit the player as he would have more game time and opportunities to prove himself.

His growth has stalled at the Premier League club and it is better for him to leave than stay as a bench warmer.
