Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool FC outfit are due to face a challenge from Chelsea on the transfer front with both sides vying for the signature of Ajax starlet Ryan Gravenberch ahead of the summer window.
Reports from the Express claim that the Premier League duo are involved in a close contest to land Gravenberch who is valued at £30 million by the Dutch side.
One of the brightest prospects in European football
The 18-year-old Gravenberch has been an impressive part of the Ajax setup this season and with his consistent set of displays in the centre of the park, he is regarded as one of the most talented youngsters in world football at the moment.
Despite his tender age, Gravenberch has already earned three caps for the Holland senior side, fast-tracking his progress into a much-touted figure who is set to play a major role for the Orange in the years to come.
Is Gravenberch the answer for Liverpool to Gini Wijnaldum’s departure?
With Gini Wijnaldum increasingly close to heading out the exit door at Anfield, Jurgen Klopp could make the move to land his compatriot Gravenberch to fill the void left in the midfield should the former Newcastle United man decide against signing a new deal.
Gravenberch could establish himself to be a midfield regular for the Anfield giants if he emulates his past and present displays in the Liverpool FC shirt, making for a fantastic long-term replacement for the FC Barcelona target Wijnaldum.
