According to German writer Christian Falk, Liverpool has set a £20 million maximum price for midfielder Ryan Gravenberch of Bayern Munich this summer.
Jurgen Klopp is confidence in Gravenberch’s skills despite the Reds having yet to make an official approach to the German champions. We can infer from this that the boss intends to sign the Dutchman before the window’s deadline.
Gravenberch is a versatile player who can operate as a 10 behind the striker, an eight in a three-man midfield, and in a double pivot midfield. He is technically sound, doesn’t have any problems in aerial duels given his height, and can have an impact on the game from either box.

Before joining Bayern last summer, the 21-year-old was a superb young player at Ajax. He struggled last season in Munich, when he was only able to play 937 minutes of football in all competitions.If Gravenberch returns to Anfield before August 31, Liverpool may strike a brilliant deal given the price tag and ceiling he carries.
People could be wary of him because of how little he played in the previous season. However, it is too soon to predict a young player’s trajectory. Even at age 21, he has the skills and experience to perform well for the Reds if we
Liverpool has responded to the disappointment of losing Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia to Chelsea by acquiring Wataru Endo from Stuttgart.
The club may make additional acquisitions before the deadline, according to Klopp. We can only hope that Gravenberch is one of them. He still has plenty of time to mature and improve at the age of 21.
