Liverpool transfer news – Ryan Gravenberch
According to Sky Sports News ɾєρօɾτerMelissa Reddy,Liverpoolare considering a move forBayernMunich’sRyan Gravenberchas a long-term replacement forFabinho, who could be set for a move to the Saudi Pro League this summer.
Speaking toDe Telegraaf, Gravenberch has expressed his desire to play more atBayern Munichfollowing his£20marrival from Ajax last term, hinting that a departure could be on the cards if he is not allowed to do so.
“I just want to play more, preferably atBayern,” he told the Dutch media outlet.
“Otherwise, at a club where I’ll 100 per cent play. That’s my preference. I don’t want another year like the one I’ve just had. I really learned a lot from it. But I just want to play football.”
However, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano (via theLiverpool Echo) has indicated thatBayernhead coach Thomas Tuchel has emphasised that the Netherlands U21 international is still a “challenger” at the Allianz Arena.
“Ryan is in the challenger role. He has to get the best out of this role,” said the German head coach.”
Transfer insider Dean Jones last monthtold GIVEMESPORTthat the door could still be open for Gravenberch, once dubbed “dominant” by his former youth coach Brian Tevreden, to sign forLiverpoolthis summer.
And German journalist Falk has indicated thatLiverpoolhave previously held talks withBayernover signing Gravenberch and that their firm stance on the situation could soon soften.
What has Falk said aboutLiverpooland Gravenberch?
Speaking about Liverpool’s pursuit of Gravenberch, Falk told GIVEMESPORT:”They are interested. There were talks in the past. But they got feedback thatBayern Munichcurrently don’t want to sell.
“But this could change because, last Saturday, training started atBayern Munichand there will be competition. Leon Goretzka, the German international, is playing in the same position. So, Thomas Tuchel can decide who will be his first choice.
“After that,Bayernwill have to sell players because if they want Harry Kane, he’ll be expensive. So, this could be a topic in the next few weeks.
“Currently,Bayern Munichwill see everybody in training, including Goretzka and Gravenberch. Marcel Sabitzer was also at the medical test.
“They must sell if they want to get money from a club. In this case, it can be interesting.
“Gravenberch’s management has already held talks with AC Milan. There was also a meeting in Amsterdam about how they ρłɑɴ the future. So, this topic is still hot.”
What other midfielders couldLiverpoolsign this summer?
Despite already securing the signature of Brighton & Hove Albion’s Mac Allister and RB Leipzig’s Szoboszlai, Klopp wants to add another midfielder to his squad this summer.
