Exclusive insight on Ryan Gravenberch from Christian Falk, head of football at German newspaper Bild, ahead of the midfielder's transfer move from Bayern Munich to Liverpool
Liverpool are looking to complete the signing of Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich on transfer deadline day after agreeing a fee for the Netherlands international.
But why have Bayern decided to sell and what can the Reds expect from their new signing? The ECHO spoke to Christian Falk, head of football at German newspaper Bild, to get the lowdown from Germany on Gravenberch and Liverpool’s imminent deadline day transfer… They have a transfer group of seven people. Tuchel is part of it and Tuchel has always said he needs a number six. He wanted Declan Rice, they tried but after that they spent a lot of money on Harry Kane so there was no money left for a good number six. Tuchel was told he wouldn’t get a number six.
Gravenberch is a player Liverpool have liked for a long, long time. They asked after him earlier this year but were told he wasn’t for sale, so it sounds like they partly have Harry Kane to thank for the transfer now being possible! But what changed at Bayern for them to now sell the player? Goretzka was also discussed but clearly he wanted to stay. Gravenberch was always willing to go. He already wanted to go last winter when he didn’t have so many chances. There were talks already a few months ago with Liverpool. They talked in Amsterdam so there was always a connection between Liverpool and Gravenberch.
How important has Jorg Schmadtke been to the transfer? Obviously he has a lot of experience and contacts in Germany… He’s been very vocal about not being happy with his playing situation at Bayern. But he’s not necessarily guaranteed to start at Liverpool either. Is that a concern? It was just always a question of money because Liverpool always had, for big transfer, others player in their view. Klopp got the signal from Liverpool that if he wanted to get Gravenberch, then he was allowed to spend £20m.
