Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has claimed that Ryan Gravenberch’s performance in the 2024-25 season surprised everyone at the club. The Dutchman arrived at Anfield from Bayern Munich in September 2023 for a reported fee of €40 million.
Gravenberch struggled for minutes during his first season in Merseyside. Playing as a central midfielder, he started only 12 games for the Reds in the Premier League. However, the Dutchman rebuilt himself as a defensive midfielder under Arne Slot and became instrumental to Liverpool’s success.
He made 49 appearances for the Reds last season and started 37 games for the league winners in English top-tier football. Addressing the significant improvements, Alexis Mac Allister revealed that Ryan Gravenberch surprised everyone at the club with his performance.
While speaking to The Anfield Warp Podcast, the Argentine midfielder said (via TBR Football):
He added further:
Gravenbech’s transition into a holding midfielder has secured his place in Arne Slot’s line-up. He also played a crucial role in the Reds’ 20th league title triumph.
Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) attacker Goncalo Ramos. According to journalist Sam McGuire, the Premier League champions see Ramos as an option to replace Darwin Nunez.
The Portuguese attacker joined PSG from Benfica in January 2024 for a reported fee of €80. Since then, he has scored 32 goals and provided eight assists in 80 games for the French champions.
The Reds see Ramos as a potential replacement, but he’s not their top priority. Liverpool are also said to be interested in Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike. According to GIVEMESPORT, the French attacker would be available in the market for not less than €100 million.
