Slot luidt mogelijk Liverpool-exit Van den Berg in: 'Ja, die is vertrokken'

Liverpool-manager Arne Slot heeft op Anfield - enkele uren na de 4-1 zege op Sevilla - een basisplaats gegeven aan centrumverdedigers Ibrahima Konaté en Nathaniel Philips. Van den Berg zit daardoor op de bank tegen Las Palmas. Eerder op de zondag behoorde hij niet tot de wedstrijdselectie. Volgens veel Liverpool-fans is dat een teken aan de wand: Van den Berg, die wordt begeerd door onder meer PSV en Feyenoord, zou op weg zijn naar de uitgang.

Een greep uit de reacties:

Nat Phillips starting over Sepp Van Den berg is quite telling…

That second Liverpool team almost virtually confirms Sepp is off. Started or played a key part in all of the games so far in pre season but is left out today for Phillips. He's definitely off.

A centre back has to arrive now over the coming weeks! #lfc

Weird that Phillips starts ahead of van den Berg 🤔 not a good sign in terms of him staying

Guessing that confirms Van Den Berg is likely leaving because how is phillips starting ahead of him. Also surprised not to see Nyoni, bjecetic and that among the subs

Van den Berg on the bench means he might leave, which leaves us with 3 CBs and Gomez going into the season if no addition is made to that department. Hmm https://t.co/WREj2IaqX8

Van den Berg’s surely a goner if Phillips is starting ahead of him. https://t.co/eqiWXG4I40

Seems this is the best indication of who is going to leave #LFC next - Sepp Van Den Berg https://t.co/BC7R2rlgfr

Van den Berg on the bench says to me that he's being sold. there can be no other reason, he's played all the other games
