From hell to heaven: The Rise of Ryan Gravenberch at Liverpool
Real Madrid's interest in Ryan Gravenberch has sparked rumors of a potential move, but the Dutch midfielder's sensational performances for Liverpool have solidified his status as a key player in the Premier League. Find out why Gravenberch deserves a bumper new contract to keep him at Anfield and away from other European giants.
A Spanish publication reported last week that Real Madrid want to sign Ryan Gravenberch, which would make sense, in fairness. Toni Kroos is still sorely missed at the Santiago Bernabeu after retiring after Euro 2024, as doubts persist over the likes of Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga to fill the void left behind by the genius German.During the same story about Madrid's interest in Gravenberch, though, it was claimed that the Liverpool midfielder was 'valued at €65 million' - to which the obvious response is, by whom?! Nobody who had watched Gravenberch in action in the Merseyside derby at Anfield the day before would have put such a paltry price tag on the best player in the best team in England.In his new role as a No.6, the Dutchman was absolutely integral to Liverpool running away with last season's Premier League - but having been given "a bit more freedom" to attack this term by Arne Slot, he's now showing why Rafael van der Vaart once described Gravenberch as "better than Jude Bellingham in every way"...
The Impact of Ryan Gravenberch at Liverpool

Interest from Real Madrid and Valuation Controversy
Recent reports linking Ryan Gravenberch to Real Madrid have raised eyebrows, especially considering his impact at Liverpool. While Madrid may be eyeing him as a potential replacement for the retired Toni Kroos, Liverpool fans are adamant that his true value far exceeds the reported €65 million. Gravenberch's standout performances, including the Merseyside derby, have established him as one of the elite midfielders in Europe.
Securing Gravenberch's Future at Anfield
As speculations mount about Ryan Gravenberch's future, Liverpool must act swiftly to secure the midfielder with a lucrative new contract.
