Liverpool transfer news – Ryan Gravenberch
Gravenberch has been a ɾєρօɾτed target forLiverpoolfor some time and theLiverpool Echobelieve he would be available for €25 million (£22 million) this summer.
The player himself recentlytold ESPNthat he was ‘disappointed’ with his playing time atBayernthis season, where he was limited to only three leagues starts.
“I expected to play more minutes than I did. I thought I would get some more chances. It’s about just wanting to play, that’s the most important thing at my age. I hope it’ll be atBayern- otherwise, we’ll just have to look further,” he said, as per theMirror.
“I want to play, but the manager is picking other players. I have to accept it, but it’s difficult. I was hoping for more minutes but I have to stay calm. I told everyone that I don’t want another year like that. Of course you can’t always be in the starting XI, but you can still play regularly – you can get a lot of minutes.”
What has Jones said aboutLiverpooland Gravenberch?
Jones told GIVEMESPORT:”We’ve seen how he wanted to find out fromBayern Munich, whether there was any scope for him to stay there.
“It hasn’t sounded so far like he’s had any guarantees that there will be. You know,Bayernactually have not got many midfield options at the moment. So I think it’s something they need to address themselves, too. They’ll probably need to sign somebody. But certainly that Gravenberch door might yet be opened forLiverpool.”
Is Gravenberch likely to leaveBayernthis summer?
Due to his significant lack of playing time and recent comments, all signs are pointing towards a summer exit for Gravenberch, andLiverpoolseems the most likely destination given the persistent rumours. The Dutch midfielder simply hasn’t impressed since leaving Ajax forBayern Munichin a£16 millionmove last summer and the German giants are not in the habit of patiently waiting for players to improve such is their desire for titles season-after-season.
