"Ryan Gravenberch is a top-class player, he already was at Bayern, but the situation was very complicated for him after his transfer from Ajax. Leon Goretzka and Joshua Kimmich were ahead of him in the pecking order, and I had also promoted Aleksandar Pavlovic. Gravenberch is not the type of player who can make an impact in the last 20 minutes; he is someone who needs a consistent rhythm through the match."
"After Liverpool failed to sign Martin Zubimendi, Slot transformed him into a defensive holding midfielder, and since then, he has been a revelation. The 23-year-old has also been in outstanding form this season, making 26 Premier League starts while scoring four goals and providing three assists. Gravenberch is now one of the first names on Slot's team sheet."
Ryan Gravenberch joined Liverpool from Bayern Munich and has become a revelation under manager Arne Slot. Initially used as a substitute in his first season with 38 appearances, Gravenberch was repositioned as a defensive holding midfielder after Liverpool failed to sign Martin Zubimendi. The 23-year-old Dutch midfielder has since flourished, making 26 Premier League starts this season with four goals and three assists. Germany national team boss Julian Nagelsmann praised him as a top-class player and explained his Bayern struggles stemmed from limited opportunities due to competition from Leon Goretzka and Joshua Kimmich, combined with his need for consistent playing rhythm rather than sporadic appearances.
