Apparently, the Reds don’t want to leave their midfield shallow this season. As a result, they have been making moves to sign a new midfielder with regards to Liverpool news.
The summer transfer window ends on September 1st, which is on Friday. Jurgen Klopp’s side are preoccupied with laying their hands on a new player to balance the midfield.
It’s most unlikely that Jurgen Klopp will continue to play Trent Alexander-Arnold as a defensive midfielder. The Englishman may keep playing as a right-back.
Therefore, Liverpool don’t have any players to play a deep role in the midfield. Of course, they have Stefan Bajcetic, but the English youngster doesn’t fit into the first-team under the German manager.
The Reds have been linked with many midfielders this summer transfer window. The likes of Moisés Caicedo and Roméo Lavia were on their radar before joining Chelsea.
Also, they have Khéphren Thuram and others on their list. However, they are now set to sign an all-around midfielder, so as to be able to balance the team’s display from the midfield.
Based on Liverpool news, the Reds are now in negotiations with Bayern Munich over Ryan Gravenberch. The two sides are reportedly discussing the price for the Dutch midfielder this summer transfer window.
Frankly, Thomas Tuchel doesn’t actually value the 21-year-old midfielder. He has enough brilliant and talented midfielders in the Bayern Munich squad.
Speaking of Liverpool news, Jurgen Klopp is reportedly a big fan of Ryan Gravenberch. As a result, he’s ready to work with him at Anfield, in the Premier League this campaign.
On the contrary, the player wants to join Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford. Initially, he prefers a move to Manchester United so as to reunite with the Dutch gaffer in the Premier League.
However, the Red Devils have many alternatives. Manchester United are currently in negotiations to sign Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina in Serie A.
Therefore, Ryan Gravenberch doesn’t seem to have any other option than to join Liverpool. And he’s reportedly open to working under Jurgen Klopp at Anfield this season.
Still on Liverpool news, the Reds are most likely to sign a new midfielder after the Dutchman. They are hell-bent on equipping their midfield before the deadline on Friday.
Ryan Gravenberch is an all-around midfielder who can comfortably play every available position in the midfield. And he fits ideally into Jurgen Klopp’s 4-3-3 formation at Anfield.
His defensive prowess allows him to play as a lone defensive midfielder. While Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai play as double No.8 to dictate the team’s tempo from the midfield.
However, Bayern Munich would have to sign a replacement before selling Ryan Gravenberch. And they have been heavily linked with Conor Gallagher or Chelsea.
The 21-year-old Dutch midfielder hasn’t been playing regularly with the Bavarians. Meanwhile, he’s definitely going straight into Jurgen Klopp’s starting XI at Liverpool.
Despite missing out on Moisés Caicedo and Roméo Lavia. The Reds have opened talks with Bayern Munich over Ryan Gravenberch, as per Liverpool news this summer.
