According to reports, Liverpool has expressed a stronger interest in signing Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch this summer compared to Manchester United.
Liverpool Football Club has emerged as the frontrunner in the pursuit of highly talented Bayern Munich midfielder, Ryan Gravenberch. Reports suggest that the Reds have exhibited a more advanced and serious interest in the Dutch international compared to their arch-rivals, Manchester United, as the summer transfer window approaches its peak.
Gravenberch, who rose to prominence during his remarkable spell at Ajax, has encountered limited opportunities to showcase his abilities since his high-profile move to the Allianz Arena. As a result, uncertainty looms over the 21-year-old’s future, piquing the interest of numerous top clubs across Europe.
Liverpool, under the astute management of Jurgen Klopp, have already bolstered their midfield options with the recent acquisition of Alexis Mac Allister. However, it appears that the Merseyside giants are keen to further strengthen their squad, with Gravenberch identified as a priority target.
Last season, Liverpool’s midfield suffered from inconsistency, with the likes of Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, and Thiago Alcantara failing to replicate their best form. Additionally, the departures of Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and James Milner following the expiry of their contracts have left a void in the squad.
Considering Gravenberch’s undeniable potential and skill set, the Dutch prodigy could prove to be an excellent addition to Liverpool’s ranks. Nevertheless, the dynamic may shift if Manchester United intensify their pursuit, especially with their impending return to the coveted UEFA Champions League next season.
