Overview

• Spanish outlet Fichajes claims Xabi Alonso has asked Florentino Pérez to prioritise signing Ryan Gravenberch, a report repeated by other publications.
• Liverpool reportedly value the midfielder at around €75 million and have him tied down until 2028, with no formal bid or talks confirmed.
• Gravenberch has grown into a key figure under Arne Slot, helping win last season’s title and starting this campaign with a goal and an assist in four matches.
• Agent Jose Fortes previously told Marca the player is good enough for Real Madrid but called a move impossible at the time due to Liverpool’s demands.
• Real Madrid possess significant midfield depth and recently signed Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool, so current coverage frames this as interest rather than an active negotiation.
