Having already signed Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai from Brighton and RB Leipzig respectively, Liverpool aren’t done with the bolstering of their midfield.
While names such as Roméo Lavia and Khephren Thuram are being linked repeatedly with a move to Anfield and could very well end up there, one man will not.
That’s according to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, who took to Twitter to reveal the latest in Liverpool’s hunt for reinforcements on the transfer market.
He claims that the Reds are ‘out of the race’ when it comes to Ryan Gravenberch, and that’s despite the Premier League side holding talks with the ‘player’s management’ regarding a potential transfer.
As things stand, the German journalist states the priority at Liverpool is a move for Roméo Lavia, who is currently contracted to Southampton and wants a way out after their relegation to the Championship.
News #Gravenberch: Liverpool is definitely OUT of the race! But talks between the club and the players management took place.
➡️ Instead, Romeo Lavia one of the priorities for #LFC!
Important to say: Gravenberch is not unsaleable for Bayern! @SkySportDE 🇳🇱 pic.twitter.com/UDOdmevATp
