Netherlands star, Sepp van den Berg has expressed regret for leaving Liverpool and is desirous of returning to Anfield one day.

He requested to leave the club to secure regular playing time else where.

The Dutch centre-back left the Red to join Brentford in August but now wishes to return.

He revealed that he had informed the club of his wish to depart even before pre-season training began under new head coach Arne Slot.

The 23-year-old failed to establish himself in the Reds after signing from PEC Zwolle in 2021.

He was sent out on loan to gain more experience at Preston North End, Schalke, and Mainz before making a permanent switch to Brentford.

He has since become an important figure at Brentford, featuring in 20 Premier League matches.

The defender is currently sidelined with a minor knee injury that he sustained during Brentford’s 1-0 win over West Ham earlier this month

Speaking to Dutch outlet Voetbal Primeur, Van den Berg reveals, “Before pre-season started, I had already told the club that I wanted to leave and play regular minutes. I would be lying if I said I did not dream of returning to Liverpool one day.

“That is still on my mind. But for now, it was better for my career to take a different path and play consistently,” he said via Sports Bible.
