Premier League giants Liverpool have, on Thursday, reached an agreement with their counterparts at Bayern Munich, over the signing of an out-of-favour member of the Bavarians’ midfield ranks.
The player in question? Ryan Gravenberch.
The name of Dutch international Gravenberch, of course, has made its way back to the forefront in the headlines on Merseyside over the course of the last week.
This comes after the powers that be at Anfield were forced to expand their pursuit of midfield reinforcements once more, on the back of Chelsea’s completed deals for both Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia.

After previously pulling the plug on negotiations with Bayern earlier in the summer, Liverpool, in turn, returned to the table once more.
And, as alluded to above, on Thursday, Jurgen Klopp appears to have gotten his man.
‘Liverpool have reached [an] agreement with Bayern Munich to sign Ryan Gravenberch.
‘The two clubs have agreed a fixed fee of €40million for the Netherlands international midfielder to move to Anfield.’
Gravenberch, 21, will now travel to Merseyside later tonight, ahead of undergoing a medical, and putting pen to paper on a long-term contract with Liverpool.
