Ryan Gravenberch was photographed sporting a Liverpool jersey after the midfielder's recruitment "stepped up."
Following news that Jurgen Klopp's team is'stepping up' their interest, Ryan Gravenberch of Bayern Munich is the name on every Liverpool supporter's lips.
In an effort to close the deal on their midfield targets quickly, it has been reported that representatives from Merseyside spoke with the 20-year-old's father, Ryan Senior, in Holland this week.
Days prior to the announcement, the Reds cooled their interest on longtime target Jude Bellingham and ended their pursuit of the highly sought-after 19-year-old.
At Anfield, a lot of midfielders have contracts that expire in the summer, and given Fabinho's recent slump, there will likely be some changes made of the German's tenure.
According to The Times, Liverpool met with Gravenberch's father, who manages his career, to discuss a summer transfer as his playing time at Bayern Munich is still insufficient.
They still claim that the 11-time Holland international might be worth as much as £25 million, or about £105 million less than the starlet of Borussia Dortmund is supposed to be worth. As Liverpool's connections to the former Ajax player grew stronger, pictures of Gravenberch sporting a Liverpool uniform surfaced.
The photo was taken from Leandro Fernandes' Instagram account, where the midfielder was posing while donning a Reds uniform from the team's Premier League-winning season, which also had badges for the Club World Cup and FA Cup on it. However, the exact date the image was shared is unknown.
Ryan Gravenberch, a midfielder for Bayern Munich, is said to have had discussions with Liverpool over a potential £25 million move to Anfield this summer.
The Dutchman, who made it into Ajax's first squad and eventually joined the German champions for £21 million, was one of European football's most sought-after players last summer.
The 20-year-old is currently weighing his options after struggling to get playing time under both Thomas Tuchel and Julian Nagelsmann.
After abandoning his pursuit of Jude Bellingham earlier this week, Jurgen Klopp is eager to go forward with his plans to upgrade his midfield options this summer.
According to The Times, Liverpool has Gravenberch as one of their top options for the midfield position, and a club representative recently met with his father in Holland this week for initial discussions.
