Liverpool are allegedly in contact with Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch about a possible transfer.
After losing Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Naby Keita, James Milner, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain over the summer, the Reds have made the midfield a priority in their transfer dealings.
Liverpool signed Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis MacAllister before pursuing Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia.
They were ultimately let down when the pair chose to join Premier League rivals Chelsea, forcing the Merseyside club to investigate other options.
Jurgen Klopp’s side moved a step forward in their search for reinforcements when they signed Japan captain Wataru Endo from Stuttgart for £16.2 million.
Despite introducing Endo as their third summer signing, the Reds are still looking to improve their alternatives in the middle of the park.
They’ve selected Gravenberch as a target, and indications that discussions are going well have enhanced their chances of getting the Netherlands international.
Gravenberch can make a move to Liverpool this summer?
According to the Daily Mail, Liverpool and Bayern Munich have had fruitful talks about a prospective move for the 21-year-old.
Gravenberch, who joined Bayern from Ajax last summer, is considering leaving the German champions after trying to make an impression.
The Dutchman started just three Bundesliga games last season, and the addition of Konrad Laimer in the summer appears to have pushed him further down the pecking order.
Gravenberch was an unused substitute in both the German Super Cup loss to RB Leipzig and the 4-0 league victory over Werder Bremen on Friday.
Manchester United, Liverpool’s Premier League rivals, are also interested in the midfielder and are thought to be his favourite destination.
In addition to Gravenberch, the Reds are said to have held talks with Crystal Palace regarding Mali international Cheick Doucoure.
The 23-year-old impressed during his first season at Selhurst Park after joining the Eagles from Lens last summer, appearing in 34 Premier League outings.
