Liverpool transfer news as Ryan Gravenberch continues to be linked.
Gravenberch is on the Reds’ shopping list as they look to strengthen their midfield before the transfer market closes in a week. Despite the arrival of Wataru Endo from Stuttgart last week, Jurgen Klopp remains a viable option following the losses of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho.
Gravenberch is someone who Liverpool have been linked with throughout the summer. The 22-year-old joined Bayern from Ajax last summer but was confined to a bit-part role in his maiden season at the Bundesliga giants. He’s also been an unused substitute in their opening two matches this term.
With Tuchel coveting a new holding midfielder in his own right, The Athletic reports that he’s indicated he’ll allow Gravenberch to leave. However, it is suggested that Bayern’s hierarchy do not feel Tuchel needs a fresh addition in the Allianz Arena engine room and are leaning towards keeping Gravenberch.
The Daily Mail reported earlier this week that Liverpool are leading the race for Gravenberch, with Manchester United ‘in the background’. However, United are claimed to be preparing a loan agreement, which’seems implausible at this stage with Bayern wanting to return monies’.
