Liverpool career[]
Van den Berg came through to the PEC Zwolle first-team as an extremely promising talent, making his debut at just sixteen. After a breakthrough 2018-19 campaign, making fifteen appearances, the youngster became the target of many large European sides, including Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
On 27 June 2019, it was confirmed that Liverpool had reached an agreement to sign van den Berg on a long-term deal, for an initial fee of just £1,300,000. The Dutchman joined his fellow national compatriots; Virgil van Dijk and Ki-Jana Hoever at the club.
Van den Berg was included in the club's pre-season squad, and featured in multiple friendlies.
On 25 September 2019, van den Berg made his first Liverpool appearance, coming on as a late substitute in a 2-0 win away to MK Dons. A month later, he made his first start for the club, playing 90 minutes in a 5-5 draw with Arsenal, which was eventually won on a penalty shootout.
