“Guardiola Set to Make Bold Move for Former Liverpool Star – Report”
“Guardiola Eyes Sensational Move for Former Liverpool Star – Report”
Liverpool and Manchester City have shared a fierce rivalry in recent years and are poised to battle for the Premier League title this season, with Pep Guardiola now planning to sign one of our former players.
According to footballtransfers.com, sources have revealed that Pep Guardiola has been keeping an eye on Brentford’s Sepp van den Berg since his time on loan at Preston North End, when the defender was still registered with Liverpool. The centre-back first caught Guardiola’s attention during a pre-season friendly in 2021, and he has remained on the manager’s radar ever since.With Arne Slot allowing the Dutchman to leave this summer, it would come as a surprise to many if he were to make a move to Manchester City. It also raises questions about how Liverpool considered Van den Berg surplus to requirements, only for the reigning champions to show interest in him so quickly.
Scott Carson is already a former Liverpool player currently playing for Manchester City, so the 22-year-old wouldn’t be the first to make the switch to the Etihad.
A move for Sepp van den Berg to Manchester City would be a stunning shock.
It was reported over the summer that the former Preston loanee had surpassed the expectations of our new coaching staff, but clearly not enough to secure his place at the club.This could suggest that he left Merseyside in search of regular playing time, and if we can’t offer that, it seems unlikely Manchester City would either.Given the frustration over the price tag we set for him, it’s doubtful even he anticipated another club would swoop in to take him from Brentford, who met our valuation.For now, we’ll file this rumor under the ‘probably not going to happen’ category.
