Liverpool have been dealt a blow as January midfield goal Ryan Gravenberch is ready to remain at Bayern Munich, Fabrizio Romano has revealed.
What’s the phrase?
Liverpool had been linked with a mortgage transfer for the Dutchman, who has hardly featured for the membership since his summer season transfer from Ajax, however it now seems a deal is unattainable.
Will Liverpool end within the high 4?
Yes
No
Jurgen Klopp’s facet are considered in the market for a central midfielder, and a deal for Gravenberch might have strengthened their squad as they appear to recuperate from their present stoop in the course of the second half of the season.
But talking on his YouTube channel, Romano revealed that Bayern need to preserve the midfielder till the summer season on the very least.
He mentioned: “To make clear on Ryan Gravenberch. Some rumours on a possible mortgage deal to Liverpool or perhaps to another English membership from Bayern – the message is fairly clear: Bayern need to preserve the participant.
“They need to preserve Gravenberch, and at the least till the top of the season. They belief him, they contemplate him an essential participant for his or her mission. Of course, it’s not a straightforward second for him, a straightforward first a part of the season, however Bayern are satisfied that he’s going to be a very essential participant sooner or later.
“So at the moment, they are not accepting any loan for Gravenberch and Liverpool are not negotiating for him.”
Time working out
It is obvious that Liverpool want a central midfielder within the January window, however having spent £35m on Cody Gakpo, their choices – and room of their switch finances – stay restricted, therefore the reported curiosity in a mortgage deal.
With lower than per week left within the window, the membership have to discover a answer that may preserve them ticking over till the summer season, once they might transfer for high-profile targets corresponding to Jude Bellingham.
They might lose out on Bellingham in the event that they fail to qualify for the Champions League, so any strengthening now might show essential.
