Liverpool have been heavily linked with Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch in recent weeks after dropping out the race for Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham.
After months of rumours linking Bellingham with a move to Liverpool, the ECHO understands that the Reds have dropped their pursuit of the England international, with the Reds' attention now turning elsewhere. Rather than spending all their transfer budget on the Borussia Dortmund midfielder, Jurgen Klopp may look to bring in multiple players for smaller fees, with Bayern's Gravenberch a name on Liverpool's shortlist.
Gravenberch joined the German side for around £20million last summer but has struggled for game time in Munich, making just four stars so far this season. A report from Sky Sports claims that Anfield officials have met the Dutchman's representative and father over the last few months, with the latter "engaged" by the Reds' pitch.
