Liverpool are making moves in the summer transfer market, aiming to strengthen their midfield. They have already secured the services of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton and are now finalizing a deal for Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig and are closing in on a deal for Ryan Gravenberch.
Is Gravenberch joining Liverpool?
Despite these acquisitions, the club is still actively pursuing other midfield options, including Khephren Thuram from Nice.
The latest speculation suggests that Liverpool are on the verge of signing Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich.
Reports from Spain claim that negotiations between the clubs are at an advanced stage, with Liverpool making a substantial offer for the talented Dutch midfielder.
While the exact figure remains undisclosed, a rumored price tag of €25m has been circulating.
Gravenberch, who struggled for game time at Bayern last season, has expressed his desire to stay at the club.
However, Liverpool’s interest may provide him with the opportunity for more minutes on the pitch.
Although Gravenberch told Dutch outlet Algemeen Dagblad.
“I assume I will still play here next season. That’s really how I feel. I’m at a top three club in the world.
I find that beautiful and special. I won’t give that up just like that. My goal is still to succeed at Bayern.”
Anfield expansion
In addition to their transfer activities, Liverpool are also planning to expand Anfield’s seating capacity. They have applied for a safe-standing license, intending to add 3,000 rail seats, bringing the total to 13,300.
This redevelopment project aims to enhance the matchday experience for fans and create a vibrant atmosphere within the stadium.
“Following an extensive review of our rail seating trial we’re delighted to confirm it has been successful and is now a permanent feature at Anfield Stadium.”
Said managing director Andy Hughes.
“We also examined how effective rail seating is in terms of the health and safety of our fans and we came to the conclusion that the management of rail seating areas would benefit from safe standing areas.
So that’s why we have taken the decision to apply for a safe standing licence, which will see the introduction of safe standing areas across all stadium sections with rail seating from next season.
The health and safety of our supporters when attending matches at Anfield is, and always will be, paramount.”
Liverpool’s proactive approach in the transfer market and their commitment to improving the infrastructure demonstrate their ambition to maintain competitiveness and success in the Premier League.
