However, it is now thought that Jurgen Klopp has it on a move for Chelsea’s N’Golo Kante instead.
Looking back on Berge’s future, Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom said on Sunday: “He’s not here because we’ve been asked not to use him.
“Our club talks to other clubs about him. It doesn’t mean he’s going anywhere, Sander is happy here.
