On Saturday, TZ reported Liverpool chief scout Dave Fallows made a trip to Germany to obtain information about Ryan Gravenberch. It was also stated Bayern Munich’s leaders are open to letting him leave this summer.
The Reds are still in the market for a new midfielder after adding Wataru Endō to their squad last week. The 21-year-old is among the options for the Merseyside club.
Liverpool first registered their interest in him last summer, before he left Ajax for the Bundesliga winners. That’s according to De Telegraaf, who state Gravenberch has ‘not forgotten’ about it.
Thomas Tuchel has made it clear to the Netherlands international that he’s expected to be a substitute for the time being. Despite this, the report says the Bavarian club still want to retain Gravenberch.
De Telegraaf state Bayern are standing firm against a sale. Therefore, a loan deal could be an alternative for Jürgen Klopp’s side or another club to sign the Dutchman. He and his agent, José Fortes Rodriguez, have less than two weeks to sort out a transfer.
It’s down to Liverpool to convince the German champions of the importance of parting ways with Gravenberch. Time will tell whether the Reds can be successful.
