‘Klopp is very confident’: After Endo, Klopp thinks £20m midfielder is going to join Liverpool – journalist

Liverpool’s midfield reinforcements have been in the waiting room for weeks. But as if taking a cue from London’s iconic double-decker buses, the Reds’ squad might be about to receive not one, but two new midfield talents – Endo and Ryan Gravenberch.

Liverpool Near Deal for Ryan Gravenberch

Reports suggest that Wataru Endo has already joined the Liverpool roster and will be directly training with the first team, while it appears he won’t be alone in making the leap from Bundesliga to Anfield.

As per sources, Liverpool are readying a £20 million offer for Ryan Gravenberch, further fueling the excitement.

Further, Jurgen Klopp also exudes confidence in sealing the Gravenberch deal, turning the narrative from a potential Premier League midfield pair to a Bundesliga raid.

As a result, Gravenberch’s long-standing association with Liverpool gains credence as the club inches closer to securing his services.

Christian Falk is Confident

Gravenberch has been a fixture in Liverpool’s rumor circuit for a while, with former player Jose Enrique even prophesying his arrival.

Finally, it seems that prophecy might hold water, as Liverpool edge closer to securing the deal. Also, Bundesliga journalist Christian Falk wrote in his CaughtOffside column:

“He wasn’t so expensive, so Liverpool still have a lot of money left to spend. The interesting thing about this deal is that I’m aware Jorg Schmadtke is responsible for the Endo deal – he had him on the list.
This is why Ryan Gravenberch and Manu Kone (who’s back from his injury) are also highly-rated.
This is why they brought Schmadtke in; he knows how good the players in the Bundesliga are and how well they’d fit in at Liverpool. This is now the German influence showing on the deals.”

Falk continued about Liverpool’s latest failures to sign Caicedo and Lavia.

“If Liverpool don’t manage to land their big targets, like Moises Caicedo, he can become their problem-solver. I think something will happen between Gravenberch and Liverpool; they will go for him, as it’s clear he won’t have the best opportunities for minutes under Tuchel.”

A Turn in Ryan Gravenberch’s Career?

Although Gravenberch endured a quieter phase at Bayern Munich recently, his prodigious talents during his Ajax stint remain undeniable.

Finally, under Klopp’s guidance, this move could rejuvenate his career, aligning with Liverpool’s tradition of nurturing burgeoning talent.

Financial Benefits

Financially, the combined £35 million investment in Endo and Gravenberch is a departure from the £110 million earmarked for Caicedo a week prior.

This shift may prompt Liverpool to explore defensive reinforcements following these acquisitions. Also, in a possible turn of events, Bayern might consider a loan deal for Thiago Alcantara from Liverpool if his playing time prospects remain dim. Falk continued,

“There are rumours going round in Germany that Bayern would go for a loan deal with Liverpool for Thiago Alcantara if he doesn’t see any chance of playing for the club this season.”
