Former Liverpool defender Jose Enrique has suggested that Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch could be playing for the Reds next season.
Gravenberch has been one of many midfielders linked with Jurgen Klopp's side as they look to make improvements to that area in the summer.
The 21-year-old joined Bayern from Ajax for a fee of £21 million, after rejecting an offer from Manchester United.
But it has been a difficult season for the Netherlands international, who has struggled to get into the team.

He has started just five games in all competitions this campaign, with four of those appearances coming in the Champions League.
Therefore, a move away from the Allianz Arena may not be too hard a deal for interested clubs to complete in the summer.
And Enrique has gotten Liverpool fans excited about the possibility of a move for the midfielder.
Enrique on Gravenberch
Speaking on his YouTube channel, the former Liverpool defender, who played for the Reds between 2011 and 2016, was asked about Gravenberch by his co-host.
He replied (quotes via Daily Mirror): "The players is ours, amigo... 'He said 'yeah'."
He then added that both he and Gravenberch share agents: "It's the same agent as me, team Raiola. We had a meeting not long ago in London, this is our player."
While the Spaniard could be referring to Liverpool securing a deal for him, he could also simply be referring to the relationship the pair now share as part of the same agency.
But The Sun reported in February that Liverpool were eyeing a summer swoop for Gravenberch, alongside that of Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham.
It was claimed that Reds officials had been 'privately discussing the possibility of making a move'.
That means it is within the realms of possibility that Gravenberch will be a Reds player next summer - even if a deal may not have been agreed yet.
