Third Liverpool transfer to be hijacked as target ‘wants’ Man Utd after interest revived

Liverpool could be gazumped in the transfer market once again with Jurgen Klopp missing out on his target.

Liverpool could be set for further rejection this summer after Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia already turned the Reds down in favour of a move to Chelsea. Jurgen Klopp’s outfit have been scrambling in order to bolster their midfield but are facing more issues with less than a month before the transfer window closes on September 1.

The Reds have attempted to reignite their interest in Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, who had admitted that he was prepared to leave the Bundesliga champions in favour of more regular playing time after a difficult first season in Germany. However, talk had gone cold on a potential move after Liverpool added both Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.

Now, Foot Mercato have claimed that Liverpool have attempted once again to bring the Netherlands international to Anfield. Negotiations have been opened between the club and Gravenberch’s entourage, as he is open to moving to England this summer after failing to impress Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel.

No offer to Bayern has been made yet, but one major concern for Liverpool is that Manchester United have also activated plans to sign Gravenberch and he currently prefers a move to Old Trafford.

It would come as a major blow having already been beaten to Caicedo and Lavia by Chelsea and are still searching for midfield reinforcements with both Jordan Henderson and Fabinho leaving for Saudi Arabia.

Taboola

United are in the market for a midfielder with Fred departing and Scott McTominay also potentially on the chopping block, though they have Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat and Everton’s Amadou Onana on their shortlist alongside Gravenberch.
