According to TBR, Liverpool are eager to offer Ryan Gravenbech a new deal and secure his long-term future after a sensational season. The midfielder was instrumental in the club’s quest towards the Premier League title, as they are now willing to offer him better terms to keep him at Anfield.
Liverpool confirmed their status as the new Premier League champions following a 5-1 thrashing of Tottenham at Anfield. The Reds did so without spending on any considerable players, with Federico Chiesa the only one signed last summer under new manager Arne Slot.
The Reds were keen to sign Martin Zubimendi last summer only for the Spanish midfielder to reject their overtures and stay put at Real Sociedad. Arne Slot decided against signing an alternative to the club’s priority target and instead chose to improve his existing options.
Ryan Gravenberch is a glowing example of how much Arne Slot improved the squad, as the Dutchman went on the become a midfield mainstay this season. The Netherlands international is not a defensive midfielder, but the manager helped him develop into a top-notch deep-lying midfielder this season.
Gravenberch has been a mainstay alongside Alexis Mac Allister in that Liverpool midfield, starting every Premier League game this season. Liverpool are now eager to secure his long-term future and offer fresh terms following a successful season. The midfielder still has three years left on his current deal, as a new deal might be seen as a reward rather than to ward off suitors.
Liverpool are eager to keep their squad together and make additions to it. The news about their intention to hand Gravenberch a new deal is indicative of that, as the club are also looking to tie down several other players to new agreements, as well as looking at other stars in the market such as Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton.
They are a bit worried about Real Madrid’s interest in Mac Allister, as they might even consider offering him a new deal given both him and Gravenberch arrived in the same window. For now, they need not worry about the latter’s future, although the former might be a bit tricky if Real Madrid comes in with serious interest.
