"Ryan Gravenberch played a huge part in Liverpool's run to the Premier League title last season, revamped in a new role by Arne Slot, this term, even though there's no disputing the quality of players like Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Florian Wirtz and Curtis Jones, Slot's team doesn't look the same without the Netherlands international on the pitch.7 The 23-year-old starred in the Merseyside Derby last week, scoring a fantastic opener and assisting Hugo Ekitike for what turned into the winner,"
"He has grown into a highly versatile midfielder, tasked primarily with the metronome role in the middle of the park, but perfectly able and willing to make runs into the opposition box to cause mayhem. Gravenberch is still on the same five-year contract he signed upon arriving from Bayern Munich in 2023, and his future is secure at this point."
Ryan Gravenberch played a central role in Liverpool’s Premier League title run last season after being assigned a new role by Arne Slot. His presence visibly changes Slot’s team dynamics, which often looks different without the Netherlands international on the pitch. The 23-year-old produced a goal and an assist in the recent Merseyside Derby, scoring a fine opener and setting up Hugo Ekitike for the decisive goal. He functions primarily as the midfield metronome while also making dynamic runs into the opposition box. Gravenberch remains on the five-year deal signed after his 2023 transfer from Bayern Munich, and the club hierarchy believes his sustained contributions merit a substantially more lucrative contract.
