The Premier League transfer market will close at 11 p.m. UK time on Friday, and Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp might be relieved.
It has undoubtedly been a demanding summer for the Reds manager, who has been attempting to rebuild the midfield while also trying to maintain order in the wake of the unexpected departures of captain Jordan Henderson and stalwart Fabinho.
He won’t have to discuss incomings and outgoings in every press conference starting the next week, allowing him to concentrate completely on the on-field aspect of events.
He must, however, use the remaining time effectively to put together a team that is prepared to contend as he knows he won’t be able to make any more transfers until January
According to the Daily Mail, Liverpool and Ryan Gravenberch, a midfielder for Bayern Munich, have reached a personal agreement.
The Reds and Bayern are currently working out a fee, and while they are hoping that $45 million (£35 million/€41 million) will be sufficient, Bayern’s pursuit of Fulham’s Joo Palhinha could be crucial.
Palhinha wants to transfer to the Allianz Arena, and Thomas Tuchel’s team is willing to spend $66 million (£52 million/€61 million) for him, but the Cottagers are asking for $89 million (£70 million/€82 million).
