Liverpool ‘approach Bayern Munich star Gravenberch’s management about transfer’ as they look to rebuild midfield

LIVERPOOL have reportedly opened talks with Bayern Munich star Ryan Gravenberch over a possible summer transfer.

Jurgen Klopp is keen to rebuild his midfield at the end of the season following an underwhelming campaign.

The Reds have been linked with Jude Bellingham for several transfer windows.

But reports this week claim they have pulled out of the race for the England international, 19.

Speaking about Bellingham on Friday, Klopp said: "If I don’t speak about players we sign and don’t sign, why would I now speak about this kind of speculation? Really nothing to say about it."

He then added: "It’s not about Jude Bellingham now, my answer now. Definitely not.

"I never understood why we constantly talk about things we theoretically cannot have.

"We cannot have six players in the summer, where everyone is £100 million, for example. That’s kind of clear.

"You have to realise what you can do and then work with that."

Now have stated that Gravenberch, 20, is on Liverpool's shortlist of alternative options.

The Dutch youngster only joined Bayern from Ajax last summer for £16million.

But he has started just four games in all competitions this season and could already be looking elsewhere for game time.

Liverpool are said to have sought discussions with Gravenberch's management ahead of a move for the Amsterdam-born star.
