Sepp van den Berg, who impressed with Mainz last season, has voiced his frustration with Liverpool, accusing the club of making it difficult for him to secure a permanent move away this summer. The 22-year-old is eager for regular playing time but claims that the Reds won't let him leave for a reasonable fee.

In an interview with De Telegraaf, Van den Berg shared his sentiments: "I knew that I couldn't get from PEC Zwolle [straight] to Liverpool's first team. I could have been at Liverpool for one or two more years, but I wanted to play with all my might. I demanded to be [loaned] out every time because I felt that I was getting better and better. I also made great strides physically."

Van den Berg expressed his disappointment with the lack of faith Liverpool has shown in him, saying, "You [Liverpool] didn't exude confidence in me all this time, but you do want to hinder my future. I want to keep playing every week and develop myself further."

He also emphasized how playing in Germany has been beneficial for his growth: "In Germany, I enjoy Dortmund away with 70,000 people, Bayern Munich away against Harry Kane, Stuttgart, Leipzig, Leverkusen. Against clubs like that, I am challenged every week."
