Liverpool Defender Eyeing Bundesliga Return This Summer
As Liverpool prepare for a significant overhaul this summer, one club has made their intentions quite clear regarding a potential transfer. Manager Arne Slot aims to bolster the Reds’ defensive line, and reports indicate interest in Lille defender Leny Yoro.
Manchester United also have their sights on the French teenager, but sources close to HITC reveal that Yoro favours a move to Real Madrid above any other option this summer.
Joel Matip has already left Anfield on a free transfer, and another promising defender could be departing Merseyside soon.
German Clubs Keen on Liverpool’s Van Den Berg
Liverpool’s Sepp van den Berg, after loan spells at German clubs Schalke and Mainz, faces an uncertain future at Anfield. The Dutch defender played 33 Bundesliga matches for Mainz last season, and it’s evident that the German club wishes to retain him.
Mainz’s Christian Heidel told Sky Deutschland, “That’s difficult, I can’t. We are waiting. We have been in contact with Liverpool several times. When Liverpool start training, there’s no central defender there because they’re all away at the European championship and Copa América and then they want to have a look and take their time.”
Heidel also commented on Van den Berg’s preferences: “Sepp has made his position clear, he would love to stay at Mainz. We would love to keep him, now Liverpool have to play along. We’re giving Liverpool time and we’re taking our time.”
Potential Departure of Van Den Berg from Liverpool
Despite joining Anfield, Van den Berg has yet to feature in a Premier League match for Liverpool. With the club keen to offer Virgil Van Dijk a new contract, a move away for Van den Berg seems increasingly likely.
HITC has reported that there’s interest in Van Dijk from the Saudi Pro League, but Liverpool are determined to secure the Dutchman’s future with a new deal this summer.
Interest in Young Defender Leny Yoro
Alongside Van den Berg’s potential transfer, Liverpool’s pursuit of defensive reinforcements continues with Leny Yoro. The young French defender is a hot commodity, attracting interest from both Liverpool and Manchester United. However, Yoro’s preference for Real Madrid may influence the outcome of this transfer saga.
In conclusion, this summer transfer window promises to be busy for Liverpool, with significant moves expected in both incoming and outgoing transfers. The future of Sepp van den Berg hangs in the balance, while the club’s efforts to reinforce their defence are underway.
