Liverpool's plans to bolster their midfield this summer have received a boost after one of their transfer targets reacted favourably to an approach from the club.
After a lengthy pursuit of England player Jude Bellingham, The Reds admitted defeat last week and conceded they could not afford a fee north of £80 million for the Borussia Dortmund man. Fans reacted with disillusionment, but Jurgen Klopp sought to brush off the saga by claiming "it's not rocket science" as to why the signing couldn't happen.
But the manager has moved quickly to quell the disappointment with a move for another Bundesliga star. Ryan Gravenberch, who signed for German champions Bayern Munich from Ajax for around £20million in the summer, is reportedly keen to head to Merseyside.
