‘Waiting for green light’: Sky Germany reporter breaks evening Liverpool transfer news
Sepp van den Berg’s future looks set to be away from Liverpool following public comments made by the on-loan defender.
The Dutchman expressed his discontent with his treatment at the Reds, accusing the club of breaking promises and failing to provide sufficient opportunities.
Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Germany now reports on X (formerly Twitter) that the 22-year-old is ‘waiting for the green light’ from the Merseysiders to make his exit.
There’s thought to be significant interest from both the Bundesliga and Premier League in his services.

Does Sepp van den Berg have a future at Liverpool?
It’s always a shame when young signings don’t pan out as you’d hoped.
Ultimately, however, it’s worth remembering for Van den Berg that the club didn’t leave him completely high and dry.
There was a genuine effort to secure loan spells and regular game time for the centre-back – even if it was away from Liverpool!
We can understand his frustrations, of course, but ultimately a £20m price tag for a player who has excelled in the Bundesliga this term isn’t an entirely unreasonable starting point.
He’ll get his permanent move, and it’ll most likely be in the upcoming summer transfer window.
