Van den Berg, younger brother of Liverpool’s Sepp van den Berg, has long been regarded as one of the Netherlands’ most promising young defenders. Several European clubs had been tracking his progress, but Stuttgart’s ambitious sporting project and Champions League qualification reportedly played a decisive role in convincing him to make the move to Germany.
Sporting Director Fabian Wohlgemuth hailed the transfer as a statement signing:
“Rav is a world-class talent with incredible potential. Despite his age, he shows the qualities of a leader in defense. We believe he can develop into one of the top central defenders in Europe, and Stuttgart is the perfect place for that journey.”
Head coach Sebastian Hoeneß is expected to integrate Van den Berg quickly into the squad, with fans anticipating an exciting partnership alongside defensive mainstay Waldemar Anton.
For Stuttgart, this signing reflects their growing reputation as a club capable of attracting Europe’s brightest talents. For Van den Berg, it’s a chance to prove himself on a bigger stage and accelerate his rise toward becoming a household name in European football.
