Ryan Gravenberch rejects Saudi offer

Journalist Nicolo Schira reports that Ryan Gravenberch is set to sign a new contract at Liverpool. On top of that, he rejected a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia in order to remain with the Reds.

It’s unquestionably fantastic news for Liverpool. Gravenberch developed into one of the best midfielders in world football last season – something no one really saw coming.

And that’s from a player who was really a speculative punt from the club. Moises Caicedo was the midfielder Liverpool wanted but after he chose Chelsea, the Reds pivoted.

Gravenberch had been struggling over at Bayern Munich, leaving the Bavarians willing to sell. In came Jürgen Klopp and co., who convinced the Dutchman that he could recapture his best football on Merseyside.

Things started slowly but after Arne Slot came in, Gravenberch completely found his feet. Now it feels as though both player and club are getting a reward for their faith in one another as they commit to a long-term deal.
