Bologna are reportedly interested in signing Sepp van den Berg as a replacement for Liverpool transfer 'target' Riccardo Calafiori
His own goal against Spain might have consigned Italy to a defeat in their second group game, but he has shone defensively throughout the group-stages and earned plenty of acclaim as a result. Meanwhile, it was his eye-catching assist for Mattia Zaccagni that earned a last-minute draw against Croatia, carrying the ball out of defence, playing a smart one-two before evading a challenge and picking out the right pass.
Excitement ensued when the Athletic reported that Liverpool had enquired about the Italy international. But while Reds supporters, having come down with a case of ‘tournament fever’ during the Euros, might be keen to see their club sign the Italian, as things stand such a desire looks set to be left unfulfilled.
Juventus have reportedly agreed personal terms with the defender as they look to reunite him with manager Thiago Motta. However, contrasting reports overseas debate whether the Old Lady are actually close to agreeing a £40m deal with Bologna or not. Meanwhile, reports in Italy claim Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are ready to swoop in if they can’t agree a fee.
‘You scratch our back, we scratch yours. We get a centre-back for a cut-price fee while you get a wantaway target as a replacement. Happy days!’ When signing Andy Robertson from Hull City in a deal worth up to £10m, Kevin Stewart moved in the opposite direction for £8m, while Ki-Jana Hoever completed a £9m switch to Wolves when the Reds snapped up Diogo Jota for £45m.
However, after a successful season on loan at Mainz 05 last season, the 22-year-old admittedly wants to return to the Bundesliga outfit.
