Liverpool defender Sepp van den Berg set to undergo a medical with Brentford this evening ahead of a move worth at least £25m.
It is understood the west London club have agreed to pay £25m plus £5m in add-ons for the centre-back.
Van den Berg joined Liverpool in a £4.4m move from Eredivisie club PEC Zwolle in 2019, and has made four senior appearances. He is in west London and will hold further talks with the club at the training ground.
Bayer Leverkusen remain interested in the Liverpool defender, and are willing to agree to the same deal with Liverpool but need to sell one of their centre-backs first.
The Bundesliga champions have interest from other clubs in Edmond Tapsoba, Jonathan Tah and Odilon Kossounou.
Sky Sports News has already reported Newcastle’s interest in Tapsoba.
