Liverpool are preparing to offer Ryan Gravenberch a new long-term contract in recognition of his impressive performances since joining the club. The 23-year-old midfielder, who arrived from Bayern Munich for £35 million, currently has a contract running until 2028. However, the Reds are keen to secure his future with an enhanced deal reflecting his importance to the team and to ward off interest from clubs such as Real Madrid.
Since his arrival, Gravenberch has made a significant impact at Anfield, justifying Liverpool’s intent to improve his terms and reward his contributions on the pitch. Contract talks are progressing, with Liverpool keen not only to retain the talented Dutchman but also to provide him with a well-deserved pay rise.
Reports suggest Liverpool have already informed Real Madrid of a potential transfer price in the region of £56 million, signaling their determination to keep Gravenberch unless a substantial offer is received. The club’s priority remains to tie him down to new terms, reflecting their long-term plans and belief in his potential.
This new deal would secure Gravenberch’s position at Liverpool for the foreseeable future, building around him as a key figure in midfield as the club aims to compete at the highest levels domestically and in Europe.
