He will help us a lot to go all out to Liverpool” Pep Guardiola asks Manchester City to sign former Liverpool star. 🚨 He never played a Premier League game under Jurgen Klopp! 😱

Liverpool and Manchester City, two teams renowned for their fierce rivalry in recent seasons, appear set for another intense battle in the Premier League title race. However, reports suggest that Pep Guardiola may have his sights on a surprising target—one of Liverpool’s former players.
According to FootballTransfers.com, sources indicate that Guardiola is interested in Brentford defender Sepp van den Berg. The Dutch center-back first caught Guardiola’s eye during a 2021 pre-season friendly while he was on loan at Preston North End. Since then, the young defender has reportedly remained on the Manchester City manager’s radar.
Van den Berg departed Liverpool this summer after being deemed surplus to requirements at Anfield, making City’s rumored interest in him a surprising twist. At just 22 years old, he could potentially develop further under Guardiola, but such a move would raise questions about Liverpool’s decision to part ways with him, only for a rival club to show interest shortly afterward.
This wouldn’t be the first instance of a former Liverpool player joining Manchester City—Scott Carson, another ex-Red, is already part of Guardiola’s squad. However, Van den Berg left Liverpool in pursuit of consistent game time, and it’s uncertain if City, with their depth of talent, could offer him that.
Adding to the intrigue, Brentford only recently secured the defender for a fee that matched Liverpool’s valuation. It would be unusual for City to now consider making a bid so soon after his transfer.
For now, the speculation surrounding Van den Berg’s potential move to the Etihad seems far-fetched and unlikely to mat
