Manchester City to challenge Liverpool for the signature of Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch
According to the Mirror, Manchester City will challenge Liverpool to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch if they fail to get Jude Bellingham.
City want to sign Bellingham this summer, but the England international seems to be heading towards Real Madrid. Liverpool already pulled out of the transfer race to get the Borussia Dortmund star.
Last month, it was revealed that the Reds have held talks with Gravenberch’s agent and his father to discuss the possibilities of a deal this summer. He is a highly-rated player despite not playing much this season at Bayern since moving from Ajax 12 months ago.
If we look at the numbers, the Dutch international has made 33 appearances in all competitions but has been on the field for only 937 minutes (Transfermarkt).
The 21-year-old is a versatile midfielder who can either play in a double pivot midfield, as a lone defensive midfielder or as one of the attacking numbers. He is technically very good and the height allows him to be great in aerial duels in both boxes.
Everyone knows that Liverpool must sign multiple midfielders in the summer window to rekindle the most important department of the squad.
They are close to signing Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton and Hove Albion, but he fills only one of the many holes in central and defensive midfield.
They must push to sign Gravenberch because the Dutchman can offer flexibility in position and technical quality. Aerial strength would be key in the Premier League as well.

The worry should be the potential competition from City though. They have unlimited money, resources and Champions League football to attract the player. Can Jurgen Klopp ring some magic and bring him to Anfield? We hope so.

Pep Guardiola has won the LMA’s Premier League Manager of the Season award after guiding Manchester City to a third consecutive English top-flight crown.
The Spaniard was awarded the coveted individual prize recognising the best managers in English football for the first time since 2021 after previously being beaten by Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.
The Sir Alex Ferguson trophy was presented to Guardiola at the awards ceremony that celebrated the achievements in both the men’s and women’s games.
Guardiola has now won the individual title three times since arriving in the Premier League at Man City seven years ago, but remains two behind five-time winner and former Manchester United boss Ferguson.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta would have been hoping his efforts in helping the Gunners challenge for the English top-flight title would have been enough to see him collect the accolade.

While, Eddie Howe’s efforts in guiding Newcastle to the Champions League made him another possible candidate following a terrific season in charge of the Magpies.
Guardiola could end the season by becoming the first manager of the noughties to win the fabled treble of the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League.
His star-studded squad face city-sharing rivals Man United at Wembley on Saturday in the first Manchester derby of England’s oldest cup competition.
