After losing out on Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia to Chelsea, Liverpool are now exploring alternative options in the midfield position. One potential target is Ryan Gravenberch, who has shown interest in a move to Anfield. However, the uncertainty lies in whether Bayern Munich would be willing to part with the Dutch international.
In addition to Gravenberch, Liverpool is considering other players for the midfield role. Although there have been mentions of a potential link to Real Madrid’s Aurelien Tchouameni. The credibility of this connection seems limited, as pointed out by Ben Jacobs in his CaughtOffside column. Another prospect is Andre. A young talent from Fluminense, although his current club would prefer to retain him for the time being.
Chelsea successfully secured Moises Caicedo with a substantial transfer fee. Solidifying their top summer target, as highlighted by Jacobs on Substack.
The transfer saga surrounding Moises Caicedo was nothing short of remarkable. Despite Liverpool’s determined attempt by submitting a substantial £111 million bid. Caicedo made it clear that he was steadfast in waiting for Chelsea. Eventually, Chelsea sealed the deal over the weekend, marking the culmination of a summer where they persisted with multiple offers until reaching an agreement.
Liverpool’s efforts were commendable, yet when a player has their heart set on a particular club, altering their decision becomes a challenging task. Throughout the summer, there was a prevailing sense that Chelsea would ultimately meet the demands. Given their repeated bids that were turned down.
Liverpool and their tactics
In a similar vein, Chelsea appears poised to secure Romeo Lavia from Southampton, another player Liverpool had been eyeing.
Anticipating the final stretch of the transfer window, it’s expected that Liverpool will remain active. Despite the speculation surrounding Aurelien Tchouameni’s potential move from Real Madrid, both the club and the player seem disinclined to part ways, casting doubt on the credibility of these rumors.
Another potential option is Andre from Fluminense, though the Brazilian club’s preference has always leaned towards retaining him until 2024.
A longstanding target for Liverpool has been Ryan Gravenberch at Bayern Munich. The player has expressed receptiveness to the idea of the move, leaving the decision in the hands of Bayern’s willingness to sell.
Gravenberch presents an alluring choice, and it’s reasonable to consider that he’s keeping the door open to a departure from Bayern, especially given his challenging stint since transferring from Ajax. During his time at Ajax, he garnered significant attention as a prodigious talent.
At 21 years old, Gravenberch hasn’t commanded the same level of consistent playing time at Bayern. However, it’s easy to envision that he would seamlessly slot into Liverpool’s starting lineup, a crucial addition as they navigate the departure of key figures such as Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and James Milner.
