Liverpool ‘monitoring’ PEC Zwolle defender Rav van den Berg
In the realm of transfer speculations, Liverpool fans have reason to add to it as the club sets its sights on yet another promising talent. Rav van den Berg, the 18-year-old brother of Liverpool defender Sepp van den Berg, is on the radar of several top clubs, including Brentford, AC Milan, and Bayern Munich.
That is according to the Daily Mail. Despite his age, Rav van den Berg has made substantial strides in his professional career. As a Netherlands U20 international, he has demonstrated his potential on the international stage. Rav has amassed an impressive 28 senior appearances at club level for PEC Zwolle.
His consistent performances have caught the attention of various clubs, even drawing interest from AS Roma earlier this year.
One of the standout qualities of Rav van den Berg is his ability to excel in multiple defensive positions. Capable of playing both as a centre-back and a right-back, he brings flexibility to the squad.
This adaptability not only adds depth to Liverpool’s defensive options but also provides the manager with tactical flexibility. Whether deployed in the heart of defence or on the flanks, Rav’s composure, defensive understanding, and excellent positioning make him a reliable asset.
At 1.9m, he is also a threat from set-piece situations. With the club’s renowned focus on player development, Rav’s potential could be further harnessed under the guidance of Jurgen Klopp. The Reds have a track record of successfully integrating young players into the first team.
In terms of his long-term prospects, Rav van den Berg possesses the raw attributes necessary for a successful career. His aerial prowess, calmness under pressure, and ability to read the game are all indicative of his potential to grow into a top-class defender.
Liverpool’s interest in the youngster suggests that they see him as a player for the future. With his burgeoning talent, versatility, and ample experience at a young age, Rav represents an exciting prospect for the Reds.

Having said that, the need of the hour is players who could make an instant impact within the first team, but having young players on board can never go wrong in terms of future-proofing.
