Ryan Gravenberch looks set to soon be officially announced a Liverpool player, pending medical tests ahead of his impending arrival in Liverpool.
Fabrizio Romano confirmed in a Friday morning update on X that the Dutchman is set to land in Merseyside shortly ahead of potentially putting pen to paper on a long-term deal until the summer of 2028.
Should everything go as planned, it means that the Reds will have spent £145.4m on a midfield rebuild, with the former Ajax man the fourth entry this summer beyond Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo.

We’d be remiss, too, to overlook the wondrous abilities of Thiago Alcantara who is arguably our most technically gifted player in the entire squad.
That’s quite a selection of options Jurgen Klopp and Co. will have to contend with for the remainder of the campaign.
