Italian rumours claim that Liverpool has made a bid for one of its long-term midfield transfer targets and has already got a response.
The new addition to Liverpool “I always watched Gerrard play at Liverpool,” said the endo.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, the Reds put in a bid of €48 million (£41.1 million) for Ryan Gravenberch, but Bayern Munich rejected it right away because they want to keep the Dutchman “at all costs,” despite his apparent desire to leave.
Christian Falk claims that Thomas Tuchel has given the 21-year-old clearance to leave the Allianz Arena and that the player is eager to transfer to the Premier League after finding it difficult to get playing time in the Bundesliga.
IF A ‘SPECIAL’ PLAYER LEAVES THE CLUB, LIVERPOOL IS LINKED TO A SURPRISE MOVE FOR AN EX-MAN CITY MALE, REPORT SAYS
We’re a little shocked that Bayern rejected Liverpool’s rumoured offer, which would have allowed them to make a >150% profit on a bit-part player, given that they only paid £16 million for Gravenberch from Ajax (GOAL).
Since joining Tuchel’s team from Amsterdam last summer, the Dutchman has only started three Bundesliga games (WhoScored), so it’s not like the Bavarians would be doing without a key member of their squad.
However, considering that Falk’s assertion that the manager is okay with selling the 21-year-old conflicts with the source’s assertion of Bayern’s urgency to keep him, we’d be tempted to take this news with a grain of salt.
Even though Liverpool already has three midfielders, another would be nice given the many midfielders that left the club during the summer and several of Jurgen Klopp’s current alternatives being injured.
The ideal scenario would be for Liverpool to make the Bundesliga champions an unbeatable offer between now and the deadline for transfers on Friday.
