A probable signing of Ryan Gravenberch would not necessarily mean the end of Liverpool’s activity with only a few days left in the transfer window.
As the deadline approaches, Gravenberch now seems to be the name most likely to make a last-minute switch to Anfield.
German sources predict that the Reds will make a “late push” for the midfielder, who is currently dissatisfied with his lack of playing time at the Allianz, in order to sign him.
The fully fit Dutch international is motivated to make the Netherlands squad for the 2024 Euros after missing out on a World Cup spot.
This indicates that a deal is still a possibility as of Friday at 11 p.m. (BST), with Liverpool and Manchester United both reportedly showing interest.
With Wataru Endo’s arrival, the Reds now only need one more non-homegrown player to meet Premier League requirements for 2023–24.
Any player who exceeds the 17-man limit must have either been born after 2001 or have played for an FA-affiliated club for three years prior to turning 22.
Gravenberch, who is only 21 years old, would fit into the latter category, freeing up a spot in this window for another non-homegrown signing.
In terms of European competition, things are less clear-cut because Gravenberch would not be considered a player under 21 for the Europa League.
Instead, it is believed that the club is searching for a “multi-functional” midfielder, a category that Jurgen Klopp would believe Gravenberch fits into.
