UPDATE: Liverpool send ‘2 officials to Bayern Munich’ as they take major step to try and seal Ryan Gravenberch deal

The Reds are determined to further bolster their midfield prior to the transfer deadline.

Ryan Gravenberch is on Liverpool’s radar

Jurgen Klopp’s side have lost Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain since last season concluded.

Liverpool tried to sign Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia as replacements, only for the duo to both snub them in favour of joining Chelsea.

Wataru Endo, a Japanese midfielder, was later acquired by the Reds for £19 million from Stuttgart.

However, they are still eager to sign another option.

Liverpool reportedly sent chief scout Barry Hunter and head of recruitment Dave Fallows on an investigation in Munich, according to the German publication TZ.

They add that the duo have been tasked with “obtaining detailed information” about the 21-year-old star.

Ryan Gravenberch is on Liverpool's radar

From Ajax, Gravenberch transferred to Bayern in the summer of 2022.

However, he hasn’t played much, starting just three Bundesliga games for the German powerhouses.

The Dutchman was benched for both Friday night’s league opener against Werder Bremen and last weekend’s loss in the German Super Cup.

Thomas Tuchel, the manager, has pushed Gravenberch to wait patiently for his opportunity despite not having used him yet this season.

He said: “I see him in an attacking position.

“When he was subbed on in pre-season games, he was very good and always had influence.

“But there’s a lot of competition there. I see his strengths under pressure from opponents and in dribbling.

“I’m very happy with the way he’s training. If he’s patient, he’ll get his chance.”
