Liverpool close Ryan Gravenberch deal as Jurgen Klopp speaks after the signing
Liverpool wrapped up a sensational last-minute signing, securing the services of the highly-talented midfielder, Ryan Gravenberch, from Bayern Munich. The acquisition of the 21-year-old Dutch sensation marks an exciting addition to Jurgen Klopp’s formidable squad.
Klopp expressed his delight about the signing that came to fruition after a £34.2m agreement with the Bavarian giants. The manager spoke in detail about Gravenberch on the club’s official website and here is what he said:
“Really happy to bring him in because he’s an exceptional talent. Everybody knows that. He is 21, played over 100 games for Ajax already. Had a, I wouldn’t even say difficult season at Bayern because in that age group it’s completely normal; you go into a world-class team and he had his minutes and stuff like this. But how Bayern manager Thomas Tuchel said today in the press conference in Munich I think, the position he is best at, they don’t really have in their system. We have that – that’s good.”
His impressive performances for the Dutch giants left no doubt about his immense potential, attracting the attention of top clubs across Europe.
Gravenberch’s stint at Bayern Munich provided valuable experience, even in a season that some might label as challenging for a player of his age. Klopp emphasized that Bayern’s tactical system may not have fully utilized Gravenberch’s potential in his preferred position. However, Liverpool offers the ideal platform for the Dutchman to flourish.
