Liverpool’s new manager Arne Slot could have his first issue to deal with upon immediately taking the job with one player keen to leave.

Slot is now officially in charge of proceedings at Anfield and he has plenty of work to do to e🐻nsure he hits the ground running.

The Dutch𝔉man is looking forward to working with a number of players and on top of that🐈, also wants a few signings to supplement things.

However, there are also players leaving and those who could still💃🦄 leave.

And one 22-year-old Liverpool pl🐬ayer has admitted he is far from happy with the club right now and wants to move on.

Sepp van den Berg unhappy with Liverpool

Speaking to , Van den Bergᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ admitted he 𝄹wasn’t overly happy with how Liverpool had gone about things.

“I knew that I couldn’t get from PEC Zwolle to Liverpool’s first team. I could have been♔ at Liverpool for one or t𒀰wo more years, but I wanted to play with all my might. I demanded to be rented out,” Van den Berg said.

“I had had a good conversation with the management. He said he had received good reports. I understood that I wasn’t going to play Van Dijk, Matip or Konaté out. But I thought I could be right behind it. When I didn’t get a chance again, I said: figure it out, I wan🧸t to leave.”

Adding further comment, Van den Berg admitted he is now unhappy at the apparent £20m Lꦬiverpool want to sell him.

“You didn’t show confidence in me all th🐟is time, but you do want to hinder my future. I want to keep playing every week and develop myself further.”

While you can be empathetic towards Van den Berg h✤ere, the fact remains that Liverpool are his club and they will do what’s right by them.

If they feel he is worth £20m to them, then so be it an♏d he’ll have to deal with it.

Cl꧋early, the de🦹fender wants to play and has done well with Mainz this season out on loan.

But the step up to Liverpool is another matter and as he says above, he’s not dislodging Virgil van Dijk and with Liverpool lo♋oking at another centre-back as well, he’s ܫnot going to be first choice again.

Hopefully, Van den Berg can strike some sort of agreement with the Reds which sees him force a smo🤪other exit.
