Barcelona Eye Liverpool’s Ryan Gravenberch for 2026 Despite Financial Hurdles and Reds’ Resolve

The reported pursuit hinges on Barcelona generating funds through major sales before any formal move.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets citing Fichajes report that Barcelona have identified the 23-year-old as a priority for the summer 2026 window, with no official offer disclosed.
  • Liverpool-based coverage quotes an anonymous club source saying Gravenberch is "going nowhere," with a contract extension understood to be under consideration.
  • Reports stress Barcelona cannot currently fund a substantial fee and salary package, suggesting significant departures would be needed to make a bid viable.
  • Gravenberch’s form this season has drawn strong praise, with Danny Murphy calling him Liverpool’s most important player as he features prominently under Arne Slot.
  • The consensus across reports is that a move in the near term is highly unlikely, leaving any change dependent on future sales, formal approaches, and the player’s position.
