Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch has been linked with a move away from the club, and Real Madrid are keen on securing his signature.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Real Madrid are hoping to sign 22-year-old Dutch international Ryan Gravenberch, and Liverpool will demand around €90 million to sell him.
Gravenberch has been exceptional for Liverpool this season and Arne Slot has managed to bring out the best in him. He has been an indispensable asset for Liverpool, and it will be interesting to see if Real Madrid are willing to pay the asking price for him.
Liverpool should look to hold onto him for as long as possible. They are already lacking in depth in the midfield department, and selling the Dutch international proved to be a mistake. The 22-year-old is quite young, and he will only get better with coaching and experience. He could develop into a world-class player if he continues to improve at this rate.
The midfielder had a disappointing time at Bayern Munich, and Liverpool snapped him up for a reasonable amount of money. They could now make a substantial profit on him. However, they must look to replace the Dutchman adequately if he moves on, thus setting a price tag of €90 million on him. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
The 22-year-old is currently focused on playing regularly, and he will look to continue his development with ample game time in the Premier League. It seems unlikely that the player will force an exit. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Real Madrid will have to pay a premium if they want to get the deal done.
Real Madrid need a midfield controller
Real Madrid need to plan for a future without Luka Modric, and Toni Kroos and they need quality central midfielders. Although Los Blancos have signed Jude Bellingham, they need someone who can control the tempo of the game from the deep and recycle possession.
Ryan Gravenberch seems like the ideal option for them on paper, and it will be interesting to see if Real Madrid can get the deal done. They are widely regarded as the biggest club in the world, and most players will be tempted to join them. It remains to be seen whether they can convince the player to push for a move away from Liverpool.
