The Dutchman has been given the green light to travel to Merseyside to put pen to paper on a five-year deal. This Is Anfield understands the deal is a guaranteed €40 million (£34.25m), with a further €5 million in add-ons. A deal was thrashed out between the clubs and Gravenberch’s agent, Jose Fortes Rodrigues, after negotiations were stepped up on Wednesday. Gravenberch becomes Jurgen Klopp’s fourth midfield signing of the summer, joining Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo. The 21-year-old has been a long-standing target for Liverpool, who missed out signing him when he moved to Bavaria from Ajax…
Gravenberch “ready” for move As the clock ticks closer towards Friday’s transfer deadline, Ryan Gravenberch remains a Bayern Munich player for the time being. News broke on Wednesday evening that the Reds were holding “talks” with the German champions over a deal to bring the midfielder to Anfield. The Dutchman was absent from his side’s training session on Thursday as the two clubs continued to work towards a deal, although it is believed that “no total agreements” have been made. Sky Germany‘s Florian Plettenberg has indicated that Gravenberch is “ready to join Liverpool” but it appears we may be forced to…
Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk were left in awe of Liverpool youngster Marcelo Pitaluga during training yesterday. Pitaluga looks like he could be set for a loan in the coming days, having spent a portion of last year away from Anfield. And judging by a clip posted by Liverpool’s official Twitter page today, whoever gets him will have themselves a real talent. Taking part in a two-touch shooting drill, Pitaluga has the daunting task of facing up to the Reds captain and star forward. But Marcelo takes it in his stride, first diving to his right to tip a…
SAUDI GIANTS TARGET SECOND LIVERPOOL STAR Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad have reportedly ‘sounded out’ a move for another Liverpool player as they also prepare to launch a £118m bid to sign Mo Salah. The Reds have so far resisted all interest in their attacking talisman, with Jurgen Klopp adamant that the Egypt international is going nowhere this summer. However, it’s reported that the Saudi side are set to test the Reds’ resolve with a £118m bid for the star winger. And, what is more, they are also weighing up a move for Liverpool centre-back Ibrahima Konate as well. Konate moved to…
After allowing Fabinho and Jordan Henderson to complete their Saudi Pro League moves without having replacements in place, Liverpool spent the past month scrambling to get deals done for their top targets at prices that match their valuation. Bayern Munich, faced with a want-away player in Ryan Gravenberch who wants to sign for Liverpool and whom Liverpool see as an ideal target to belatedly take Henderson’s place in the squad, may not be willing to make a similar gamble as the Reds did. Though it appears the framework for a €30M transfer of Gravenberch is in place, the most recent…
The Saudi Pro League remain intent on signing Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah for Al Ittihad. The Liverpool forward is still on a list of players the country wants to sign and he has been on that list all summer. While the Premier League’s transfer window closes at 11pm on Friday, Saudi Pro League clubs can make signings for almost another week with their transfer window closing on September 7. They are willing to pay Salah £1.5m per week and Liverpool a transfer fee of more than £100m. Liverpool are still adamant the Egyptian is not for sale, have no intention of…
Liverpool have been heavily linked with a move to sign Crystal Palace midfielder Cheick Doucoure this summer, but there is some bad news. The Reds are desperately looking for a new man in the middle of their park. They want a new addition before the window shuts tomorrow night, but if journalist Lewis Steele’s words on The Daily Mail are to be believed, it will not be Doucoure. Liverpool went into this summer’s transfer window with one aim – to strengthen their midfield. The Reds got off to a great start, signing Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton and Hove Albion and…
First off, it is important to say that abuse is not condoned in any way and it ought to have no place in the game. Van Dijk was visibly shocked and disgruntled at the decision made by referee John Brooks to show him a red card for his challenge on Newcastle‘s Alexander Isak. The captain could be seen telling Brooks his decision was a “f**king joke” before later telling fourth official Craig Pawson “don’t touch me,” as attempts were made to move him toward the tunnel. The tackle itself triggered a one-match ban for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity, but the…
According to a report by Spanish outlet SPORT, Ez Abde is the subject of interest from Liverpool over a possible move in the ongoing transfer window. The Merseyside club might pursue the 21-year-old Barcelona forward to replace Mohamed Salah if the 31-year-old leaves. The Reds were also interested in Ansu Fati. But the 20-year-old is on the verge of joining Brighton & Hove Albion. Ez Abde has had to bide his time since joining Barcelona from Hercules CF in August 2021. The Moroccan international enjoyed some game time in his debut season with the Blaugrana. But he spent the 2022/23 campaign…
Liverpool is now looking ahead to its upcoming clash with Aston Villa, as Jürgen Klopp aims to secure a third Premier League win of the 2023/24 season. Wins against Bournemouth and Newcastle United, as well as a solid draw away at Stamford Bridge, have propelled the Reds into fourth place. A coveted spot which Klopp and his men will be eager to maintain throughout the campaign, after slipping out of the Champions League places last season. As a result, Liverpool will be participating in the Europa League this season, potentially meaning an increased amount of games for an already small…
