Liverpool target Ryan Gravenberch 'spotted' in Reds kit amid Anfield transfer rumours

The speculation surrounding Ryan Gravenberch's future has gone into overdrive after an image of the Bayern Munich midfielder wearing a Liverpool shirt resurfaced on social media.

Gravenberch, 20, has been strongly linked with a move to Liverpool this summer as Jurgen Klopp plans his much-needed midfield rebuild.

Liverpool were interested in signing Gravenberch from Ajax last summer before his £20m move to Bayern Munich.

The Netherlands international has struggled for game time since moving to the Bundesliga, managing only 18 appearances in the league – the majority of which have come from the bench.

Liverpool remain interested in the Dutchman and have held talks over signing him this summer, according to the Daily Mail.

Gravenberch is seemingly a fan of Liverpool after being pictured wearing the club's kit during a training session in the gym.

It is unclear when the image was taken, although he is wearing the kit from the title-winning 2019-20 campaign.

Gravenberch's agent met with Liverpool in January

Gravenberch's representative, Rafaela Pimenta, met with Liverpool in January to discuss a loan move for the midfielder.

Pimenta was spotted at Anfield, fuelling speculation Gravenberch could join the Reds, but the move failed to materialise with Bayern Munich unwilling to let him leave.

Sky Sports claim Bayern are now open to selling the midfielder and want to recoup the £20m fee - including add-ons - they agreed for him, as well as a small profit.

It is claimed the player is "enthusiastic" about the opportunity to join Liverpool, who made a strong pitch to his team prior to him signing for Bayern Munich.

Liverpool are expected to sign several midfielders when the summer transfer window opens after pulling out of the race for Jude Bellingham.

The potential costs of signing Borussia Dortmund midfielder were deemed to be too expensive for the Merseyside club, who have turned their attention to other targets.
