Liverpool have made direct contact with the agent of Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch in the last few days.
That’s according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, who has shared an update on the 20-year-old’s situation at the Allianz Arena.
Writing in his Daily Briefing column for CaughtOffside’s Substack, he claims the Reds are very keen to bring the Dutchman to Anfield this summer.
“There is a lot of interest in Ryan Gravenberch – he is not playing for Bayern and he has confirmed he is not satisfied at all, he wants more minutes, and he says that next season it has to change,” Romano said.
“There will be a meeting soon between Bayern and Gravenberch, but from the club’s perspective, they want to keep him, and have no intention to negotiate for him to leave.
“There has been interest from the Premier League since January – Liverpool, Man United and Arsenal were all informed on his situation but it was not possible to proceed because of Bayern’s stance.
“Liverpool especially remain interested and had a direct conversation with his agent a few days ago, so they are waiting to see if the situation could change.”
Liverpool make contact with Gravenberch’s agent
Back before he joined the German giants last summer in a deal worth £20m, Soccer News reported on Liverpool’s interest in the midfielder.
Having ultimately missed out to Bayern, the Reds now have another opportunity to land him this year.
Gravenberch has started just one game in the Bundesliga, only making short cameos off the bench.
With Jurgen Klopp needing to overhaul his options in the middle of the park, the 20-year-old could be a brilliant option for Liverpool.
He would certainly fit the mould the club are looking for!
