Liverpool endured yet another disappointing result on Sunday as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Fulham at Craven Cottage.
The Cottagers had taken the lead in west London courtesy of former Liverpool man Harry Wilson, before Forian Wirtz levelled things up.
Cody Gakpo then put Arne Slot’s side in front in added-time and looked to have secured all three points for the Reds, only for Harrison Reed to draw the hosts level with a stunning strike in the eighth minute of added time.
The result leaves the reigning Premier League champions fourth in the Premier League table, but Slot will likely feel his side have missed an opportunity having been held to a draw by Leeds United in their last outing.
Now, with the January transfer window in full swing, it ha emerged that one of Europe’s biggest clubs are keen to sign a Liverpool star.
According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, via TEAMtalk, La Liga giants Real Madrid have tabled a staggering £104.5 million bid for Reds midfielder Ryan Gravenberch.
The report claims that Real boss, Xabi Alonso, has instructed those in charge of the club to sign the Dutchman, who has been in fine form for Liverpool over the past 18 months.

Gravenberch, 23, joined the Reds from German side Bayern Munich in 2023 and has since made 110 appearances for the Merseysiders across all competitions, scoring eight goals and providing nine assists.
Alonso is said to be keen to add a more dynamic midfielder to his squad, with the likes of Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga more defensive minded players.
Gravenberch has therefore been identified as a top target, with the Netherlands international having impressed despite Liverpool’s struggles so far this term.
While Liverpool are said to be very reluctant to sell Gravenberch, it is also claimed that the size of the offer lodged by Real Madrid has startled the reigning Premier League champions and has forced the club to reconsider their stance.
