Rafael van der Vaart believes Liverpool may ultimately benefit from Jude Bellingham's decision to join Real Madrid, citing Ryan Gravenberch's potential to surpass him.
Gravenberch, arriving at Anfield for approximately 40 million, emerged as a valuable option for Liverpool, contrasting with Bellingham's hefty 103 million transfer fee.
Former Liverpool defender Conor Coady noted that Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson tried to persuade Bellingham to join during England's 2022 World Cup camp.
Despite a modest start in England, van der Vaart is optimistic about Gravenberch's growth under new manager Arne Slot, predicting an impactful season.
