Ryan Gravenberch is reportedly open to a move to the Premier League this summer amid rumours that Liverpool are keen on signing the Bayern Munich midfielder.
According to the Daily Mail, the Dutch international likes the idea of a new challenge in England after a season to forget with the German giants, with Liverpool reportedly already meeting with the player’s entourage in an attempt to wrap up a deal early.
Signed for £20m last year from Ajax, Gravenberch has failed to live up to much in Bavaria with Bayern despite arriving as one of the most in-demand talents in all of Europe, yet just 12 months on, the midfielder looks set to leave Munich, with the Premier League in his sights.
For Liverpool, this update is huge, with the Reds now having a good chance at signing Gravenberch amid what will be a huge squad overhaul for Jurgen Klopp, who could do with another young central midfielder to add to the likes of Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones.
Indeed, with Gravenberch now interested in a move to England, Liverpool are in a great position to add the 20-year-old to their ranks, yet given how recently Bayern signed the midfielder, the transfer fee itself could pose a problem for the Reds if the Munich-based giants make a big demand.
Liverpool should only sign Gravenberch if Bayern’s demand is fair
Signing the right player for a Premier League club often means that price is no concern, yet for Liverpool, their move for Gravenberch must be realistic when it comes to the fee that Bayern are demanding, which could realistically be double the £20m the Bundesliga side paid for the midfielder last summer.
At 20-years-old, Gravenberch is still one of the best prospects in football despite his limited playing time with Bayern this season, and Thomas Tuchel’s side are aware of the huge payday they can attain if they play their cards right this window with the Liverpool target.
