Liverpool could reportedly have to wait until deadline day to sign Ryan Gravenberch, with a deal for the midfielder expected to take some time to finalise.
According to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, no agreement has been made yet between Liverpool and Bayern Munich for Gravenberch, who is expected to leave Bavaria this summer.
Yet this latest update could be viewed as a blow for the Reds, who might now have to wait until the final day of the window to sign Gravenberch.
Indeed, Liverpool will want to sign the Dutch youngster as early as possible, yet there could now be a chance that this deal could extend well into deadline day next week, a position nobody wants to be in.

Liverpool have arguably already left it quite late to sign Gravenberch this summer, with the midfielder linked with a move to Anfield every since the window opened for business.
And waiting until deadline day is a situation no Liverpool fan wants to be put in, with the uncertainty likely to fill supporters and officials with dread and anxiety over Gravenberch.
With time running out, Liverpool must do all they can to get Gravenberch before the deadline, with the Dutchman a player the Reds can’t afford to lose out on.
