Brentford have signed defender Sepp van den Berg from Liverpool in a deal worth up to £25m. <br />The 22-year-old Dutchman joins the Bees on a five-year contract after turning down interest from a number of other clubs, including German champions Bayer Leverkusen. <br />Brentford will pay an initial £20m fee, with an additional £5m in add-ons, while Liverpool have a 17.5% sell-on clause. <br /><br />Liverpool might still be waiting for the club's first summer signing under new sporting director Richard Hughes but he has certainly added to the coffers at Anfield. <br />Squad players Fabio Carvalho, Sepp van den Berg and Bobby Clark have been sold for a combined total of around £52.5m and a possible £10m in add-ons. There are also 17.5% sell-on clauses in each deal. <br />Forward Carvalho and defender Van den Berg did well in pre-season having been on loan last campaign and, after initial offers for both were rejected, have moved to Brentford. <br />The Reds rejected a £15m offer from Southampton for Carvalho before the 21-year-old was sold to the Bees for an initial £22.5m and a possible £5m in add-ons. <br />Van den Berg, 22, was the subject of a bid worth around £8.4m from PSV Eindhoven earlier in the summer and he has now completed a move to Brentford for £20m and a possible £5m in add-ons. <br />Midfielder Clark, 19, has made the switch to RB Salzburg in a deal worth up to £10m. <br />In each of those deals, Hughes is believed to have delivered Liverpool's valuations of the players involved. <br />We will now wait and see if any of that money is spent on incomings this summer, with the transfer window closing at 23:00 BST on Friday, 30 August.
