Over the weekend, Liverpool and Bayern Munich are scheduled to hold additional negotiations on the potential signing of Ryan Gravenberch, a free agent midfielder.
The former Ajax player is eager to leave the Allianz Arena this summer, according to a number of sources, including Steve Kay. It is also believed that Thomas Tuchel has given his approval for the potential move.Although it’s anticipated that the Bavarians’ asking price will be more than that amount, the Reds are reportedly happy to approve a £20 million deal for the player.
However, one may suppose Jurgen Klopp’s team has little wiggle room when it comes to negotiations given the short amount of time left in the transfer season and the highly public nature of the club’s transfer fund in the wake of the disastrous Moises Caicedo transfer story.
Naturally, as always, we won’t enter into a deal that doesn’t reflect how our recruitment team values a target, but we’d expect that some consideration would be given to the possible effects of our previous transfer attempts on such a move.
The circumstances do seem favorable to generate a positive result, as the player wants to leave and both managers are interested in the transfer. To give us enough time to focus all of our efforts on locating a workable center-back solution from the market, we’re hoping to see a breakthrough occur over the weekend.
