Liverpool delegation has travelled to Germany to hold talks with Bayern Munich for the signing of Ryan Gravenberch this summer, according to Tzmuenchen’s Manuel Bonke.
The delegation includes Chief Scout Barry Hunter & Head of Recruitment Dave Fallows as they look to wrap up the deal quickly with Manchester United also interested in the Dutch youngster.

The Reds are prepared to submit an offer worth £20m to Bayern to seal the transfer of Gravenberch who is admired by Jurgen Klopp. The 56-year-old is keen on signing a defensive midfielder following the exits of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson.
Gravenberch has been heavily with a move to Anfield since the start of the transfer window but the Bundesliga decided not to sell him.
It is believed that the Bundesliga champions’ stance on the midfielder has changed and would sell him if they receive a suitable offer for Gravenberch who joined them last summer from Ajax in a deal worth £16m which could rise to £20m.
He has struggled to hit the ground running at the Allianz Arena so far. The Netherlands U-21 international featured in 33 games and made two goal contributions last term with most of his appearances coming as a substitute.
Gravenberch was unhappy with his limited game time last season and is ready to move on if he cannot be guaranteed regular playing time this campaign by Thomas Tuchel.
He is yet to feature for Bayern this season after sitting on the bench throughout their German Super Cup defeat to RB Leipzig last week at home.
Gravenberch is currently behind Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, and Konrad Laimer in the midfield pecking order, therefore a move away from Germany is highly possible before the window closes on September 1.
