Van den Berg is believed to want regular minutes at Liverpool, rather than leave the Premier League club, and speaking about his future recently, he said: I was a boy when I first came here. I had so little experience having only played in Holland a little bit.
Now I have done one-and-a-half years in the Championship and another two years in the Bundesliga.
I am still young but I feel very old! It’s all about game time and experience, and I’ve gained that in recent years.
If I can get game time at Liverpool, then there is no better place to be with the fans, the club, the environment. The quality in training is so good here but my goal is to play football next year, so we will see if that is here or somewhere else.
Liverpool boss Arne Slot is anxiously awaiting news of midfielder Curtis Jones after he was forced out of the club’s pre-season friendly against Real Betis over the weekend.
