Arsenal and Juventus are also being linked with the Portugal international, with a Premier League move offering him a ‘new challenge’ which could play in the Reds’ favour.Comparing Ryan Gravenberch and Vitinha’s statistics from the 2025-26 seasonSince Liverpool’s midfield three of Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, and Dominik Szoboszlai is already regarded as one of the best in the world, the arrival of Vitinha would likely turn heads.Players such as Adam Wharton have been linked with a potential Anfield switch, but a move for Vitinha would certainly be a statement of intent. When looking at the statistics of Gravenberch and Vitinha in the Premier League and Ligue 1 this season, both have played a similar number of minutes, with each of them being important to the way that their teams have performed.

As per Sofascore, attacking-wise, Gravenberch has scored three while Vitinha has only netted one. Both players would have a lot to offer Liverpool, but if the Portugal international were to join, it’d be hard to drop one of the Reds’ three main midfielders, especially since they each make one another perform better when played together.
