Overview
- The Times’ Paul Joyce reports Liverpool plan to begin talks with Gravenberch soon, with no formal negotiations held yet.
- Gravenberch’s deal runs to 2028 and discussions are expected to include a pay rise, with his current wage reported near £150,000 per week.
- Spanish outlet Fichajes claims Real Madrid have submitted a €120m (£105m) proposal, a report relayed by UK sites without independent confirmation.
- Liverpool regard the Netherlands international as their first-choice No. 6 after a standout year that brought Premier League Young Player of the Season and PFA Team of the Year honors.
- Multiple reports suggest a January sale is unlikely, with any decision more plausibly deferred to the summer if contract talks stall.
