Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch is in Liverpool to undergo his medical ahead of his move to Anfield, according to The Athletic.
On Thursday, the Reds reached an agreement with Bayern to sign the 21-year-old in a deal worth £34.3m (€40m). He will now undergo medical checks and if all goes to plan will sign a five-year deal with the Premier League club.
Gravenberch has been linked with a move to Anfield since the start of the summer transfer window as Jurgen Klopp looks to refresh his engine this season.
The Reds will aim to conclude a deal before Friday’s transfer deadline. Klopp’s side have already brought in Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Wataru Endo this summer following the exit of five senior midfielders including Jordan Henderson and Fabinho.
Gravenberch, who joined Bayern from Ajax last summer ranks fourth in the pecking order for central midfielders, trailing behind players such as Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, and Konrad Laimer.
He has struggled to secure consistent playing time, making only three starts while featuring as a substitute in the remaining appearances. Despite this, Gravenberch has made 33 appearances across various competitions, contributing to two goals.
Nevertheless, his role in the ongoing season remains uncertain. He recently made a substitute appearance against Augsburg, indicating that he may not be guaranteed more substantial involvement on the field.
Gravenberch’s versatility on the field has attracted interest from Manchester United as well. However, his reported preference aligns with Liverpool.
