£200,000-a-week star willing to agree Man Utd move but Liverpool lead to secure signing – Journalist
Manchester United and Liverpool are in the battle to sign Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich but the Merseysiders are leading the race at the moment.
Ten days ago, Alfredo Pedulla revealed the Oranje midfielder would prefer to move to Old Trafford to play under the guidance of Erik ten Hag again.
More recently, Christian Falk, who is Head of Football for Bild, has claimed that Gravenberch is open to joining both Manchester United and Liverpool.
He is interested in moving to the Premier League, wants to leave Bayern and will opt for the club that will offer him the chance to feature regularly. The German journalist stated the Anfield club are in the driving seat for now.
“I think Gravenberch is open to both clubs, Liverpool and Manchester United. He’s very interested in the Premier League.”
“He will choose the club that shows him he’ll get playing time. I think Klopp is a very good guy to pursue people, so, at the moment, I would see Liverpool being at the front in this race.”
The 21-year-old midfielder, who earns around £200,000 a week before tax, only started six games in all competitions last season.
In the current campaign, so far, Bayern have played two games and the Dutch international has not even featured for a minute. It is likely he will continue to warm the bench if he stays with the Bavarians.
So, a transfer is the best solution. In your view, should Man Utd splash the cash to reunite Gravenberch with Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford?

Liverpool could seek to repeat Gakpo coup with swoop for £25.7m wiz who’s making waves in Europe
Eight months on from raiding PSV Eindhoven for Cody Gakpo, Liverpool could reportedly look to do the same again in the final week of the summer transfer window.
If Liverpool are to move for the right-sided winger in the coming days, it’d be a coup which’d have strong echoes of the Gakpo signing.
The 24-year-old is another attacker who came from PSV and was recruited with relative suddenness, rather than arriving at the culmination of a long-running saga.
Bakayoko seems like an exciting young talent who could generate much excitement around Anfield and provide some welcome right-sided attacking depth, although other parts of the squad will likely take priority in the closing days of the transfer window.
Still, this time of the year can throw up some real surprises, so let’s see if anything concrete happens between now and Friday night’s deadline.
