Liverpool are preparing to offer Ryan Gravenberch a new long-term contract, according to recent reports. The 23-year-old Dutch midfielder, who joined the Reds from Bayern Munich for £35 million, has quickly become a central figure in manager Arne Slot’s squad, playing a key role in Liverpool’s unexpected Premier League title win last season.

Despite already being under contract until 2028, Liverpool want to reward Gravenberch's growing importance to the team with improved terms. Club insiders describe him as “a player central to the future of the team” and see him as one of the cornerstones of Liverpool’s midfield for years to come. His standout performances, including a superb goal in the recent Merseyside derby against Everton, have underscored his technical ability and composure under pressure.

The decision to offer a new deal is part of a strategic shift aimed at securing key players and providing stability. It marks a departure from past criticisms of the club for not refreshing their midfield quickly enough. Alongside young talents like Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, Gravenberch is viewed as a foundational player for Liverpool’s future ambitions.

Fans and club officials alike see extending Gravenberch’s contract as both a reward for his contributions and an investment in the team's long-term success. Ensuring his stay will help avoid distractions and signal trust in his ability to lead the midfield into a new era for Liverpool.
