Liverpool have been dealt a setback after one of their reported midfield targets, Ryan Gravenberch, stated his desire to remain at Bayern Munich.
Following the departures of James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Liverpool are expected to begin an overhaul of their midfield. This began with the signing of Brighton's Alexis Mac Allister earlier this month, but investment is set to continue as Jurgen Klopp hopes to take his side back into the Champions League.
The Reds had been linked to Jude Bellingham, but with the England international's transfer to Real Madrid their sights have turned to other targets. Gravenberch has been identified as an alternative to Bellingham, with the 21-year-old Dutchman having a similar playing style to his fellow midfielder.
