If Liverpool is to make a fourth midfield signing this summer, then reports would seem to suggest that there’s a good chance the player in question will be Bayern Munich’s Ryan Gravenberch. According to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, Liverpool and Manchester United will be the ‘favorites’ to sign Gravenberch if Bayern gives him the ‘green light’ to leave, even though neither club has reached a ‘verbal agreement’ on personal terms.

Jota racked up 12 points in Fantasy Premier League, the most by a Liverpool player at the weekend. Only three players in…

Whilst Ferdinand ‘doesn’t deny’ that the 24-year-old was at fault for Bournemouth opening the scoring at Anfield, he made it clear that he is a ‘high-risk’ player, as he told Vibe with Five.

The Reds have already bought three midfielders in the form of Mac Allister, Szoboszlai and Endo but they have offloaded five, so the department must be further reinforced this summer. In such a scenario, Liverpool have moved in to sign Dutch international, Ryan Gravenberch, and Mali international, Cheick Doucoure. According to The Mail, the Merseysiders have held productive talks to lure Gravenberch, who wants to play more after warming the bench last term with Bayern Munich.…
