The midfielder’s representatives have already held a positive meeting about a move to Merseyside
According to reports, Liverpool target Ryan Gravenberch is keen on a move to Anfield following a positive meeting about a deal.
What’s the latest on Gravenberch’s arrival in Liverpool?
The Bayern Munich midfielder’s contract at the Allianz Arena is set to expire in four years, but after making just one Bundesliga start this season, he has fallen out of favor and could be looking to move elsewhere this summer, possibly to the Premier League.

According to De Telegraaf (via Voetbal Primeur and Sport Witness), Liverpool officials recently met with Gravenberch’s representatives to discuss a possible move to Merseyside. The Dutchman’s camp, including his father, “sat down” with key figures from Anfield to discuss a deal, and the meeting must have gone well because the midfielder is said to be “interested” in completing the switch.
The German giants’ star is “becoming dejected” about his lack of playing time at his current club, which is why a move “appeals to him,” and the hope is that FSG will not have to pay “more” than the €18.5m (£16.3m) Bayern initially paid for him.
Should Liverpool make a move for Gravenberch?
Gravenberch’s admission that he wants to join Liverpool will be a huge boost for Klopp, and the board should capitalize on this by splashing the cash to secure his services during the upcoming transfer window.
The Adidas-sponsored star has 69 goal contributions (36 goals and 33 assists) in 215 appearances, earning him the title of “indispensible” by talent scout Jacek Kulig. According to FBRef, the £152k-per-week player ranks in the 95th percentile for shot-creating actions per 90 minutes and the 92nd percentile for shots, indicating that even if he isn’t always on the scoresheet, he’s always looking to make the magic happen in the final third.
Finally, Gravenberch knows what it takes to be successful, having won six senior trophies with Bayern Munich and former club Ajax, and will be able to match the winning mentality of the current squad on Merseyside.
