Liverpool’s average age has decreased dramatically this summer as a result of several transfers and the most recent addition of Ryan Gravenberch, a 21-year-old.
While Jurgen Klopp acknowledges that it would take some time for his revamped Liverpool to reach their full potential, he is unconcerned about the maturity of his midfield.
Shortly before the transfer deadline on Friday night, Ryan Gravenberch, a 21-year-old player from Bayern Munich, completed a £40 million switch to the engine room.
The additions of 30-year-old Wataru Endo, 24-year-old Alexis Mac Allister, and 22-year-old Dominik Szoboszlai this summer also contributed to a revamping of the midfield led by the Dutchman.
Only 22-year-old Thiago Alcantara is the other midfielder in the Liverpool team. Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott, and Stefan Bajcetic, a teenager, round out Klopp’s options in the center of the field.
Ryan Gravenberch admits to Bayern Munich, “If I’m being honest,” following his £40 million signing from Liverpool.

However, the Liverpool manager is unconcerned about the lack of experience in a crucial section of the club because he cited earlier victories with young squads.
Age is not a problem, claimed Klopp. These players have already participated in numerous high-level games. You need experience like that. Other members of the team have achieved great success.
“I realize it’s been a while, but at Dortmund, we were the youngest champions ever and, a year later, the second-youngest champions ever as the team grew older. It won’t hold us back today, and it didn’t hold us back then, so there’s no problem.
Are we now (clicks fingers) showing up as the clear favorites for every competition? “Each fresh start, obviously when you change that much? No. It will be challenging if we are met with these expectations. However, if you give us time…
Right now, I’m unsure of where the boundaries are. That will be evident. We must face challenging situations, consider our options for responding, perhaps plan a viable response, and ultimately prevail in football matches.
He and I have met, and we will work on it. When the areas get smaller during training, you can see that he is a machine because he wants to execute it completely correctly.
“Can you imagine a more challenging beginning than playing twice with 10 men for so long? Most likely not. We are making progress.
“The main difference between him and the other two new boys is that he didn’t have a pre-season. They experienced a lengthy, successful preseason with us, and it completely changed everything. All that is needed is some training for him.
