Hato visited Anfield earlier this season after an invitation from Gravenberch, but his Merseyside visit came during speculation surrounding his future in the Eredivisie and subsequent links with Liverpool.

The Ajax defender was spotted at the Premier League clash against Ipswich Town in January.

Dutch outlet De Telegraaf explained that he was simply visiting his friend Ryan Gravenberch, having been invited by the Liverpool man.

It is claimed that the Reds are one of two teams, alongside Real Madrid, who are following Hato’s progress closely.

And the trip to England came during the Eredivisie's winter break which fell during the January transfer window.

The report at the time claimed that Ajax were determined to keep the defender, who is under contract until 2028.

"I read it all," Hato said regarding the transfer rumours.
