His contract comes down to the last year this summer. I'd expect Genk to sell him, either in January or in the summer.
Napoli has been interested, and it was mentioned that Napoli had offered €20m recently. Vg.no referencing Gazette dello sport and Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblatt.

Not sure he is good enough to replace Xhaka. Physically he is very impressive, and for his size he is surprisingly good technically. However, it is a big jump from Belgium to the Premier League. He is more of a talented rough diamond.
It seems Napoli & Liverpool are the front runners for him, Liverpool have been tipped to make either a January or summer move, fuelled after Klopp spoke to him directly after Liverpool played Gent & said that Berge is a very interesting player.
However, they are stocked in midfield. Liverpool could afford to ease him in, but he would have limited game time. We would need him to come good a lot sooner, but he would also get more game time with us.
