Ryan Gravenberch has arrived at Liverpool from Bayern Munich and Jurgen Klopp has outlined how he may be a long-term replacement for Fabinho, who joined Al-Ittihad
Jurgen Klopp has outlined what role he envisages for new signing Ryan Gravenberch at Liverpool as the midfielder may replace Fabinho in a deep-lying midfield position.
After months of speculation, the Reds finally confirmed the signing of the Dutch international just hours before the summer transfer window deadline earlier this month. The 21-year-old signed on a five-year deal for an initial £34.2million fee from Bayern Munich.
It concluded a summer which saw the overhaul of their midfield, with Wataru Endo, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis MacAllister also arriving following an exodus of players â Fabinho and Jordan Henderson both moved to Saudi Arabia, while Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner all moved on.
Klopp has now spoken about Gravenberch and how he can impact his new team for the first time following his arrival from Bayern. The former Ajax midfielder may make his debut as the Reds travel to Wolves in Saturday’s Premier League action.
