Real Madrid are reportedly eyeing a move for Liverpool’s Ryan Gravenberch, as per Spanish outlet Fichajes. The interest comes after the Dutch midfielder’s standout performance in the Merseyside Derby against Everton, where he scored the opening goal and assisted Hugo Ekitike for the second.
The timing of this news is interesting, considering Liverpool are set to face Real Madrid in the Champions League group stage in early November. It seems like Real Madrid have a liking for Liverpool players, having recently signed Trent Alexander-Arnold and showing interest in Ibrahima Konate.
Gravenberch is under contract with Liverpool until 2028, and with a reported €75 million valuation, it’s unlikely that the Premier League champions would be willing to part ways with one of their key players. Talks of a new deal with Gravenberch’s representatives are expected to take place during the season.
Despite Real Madrid’s past successes against Liverpool, including two Champions League final victories, the Reds have also had their moments of triumph, such as a 2-0 win at Anfield in their last encounter. Gravenberch seems content at Liverpool, enjoying the support of fans and the trust of the coach.
While the future may hold uncertainties, for now, the 23-year-old midfielder is focused on performing well for Liverpool alongside his international teammates. The upcoming clash between Liverpool and Real Madrid in the Champions League promises to be an exciting encounter.
