Liverpool move to secure Gravenberch future

Gravenberch set for new deal

Liverpool are preparing to reward Ryan Gravenberch with a new long-term contract, according to TalkSport.

The Dutch midfielder has become one of the standout figures in Arne Slot’s squad, playing a central role in last season’s unexpected Premier League title triumph. His performances have carried into the new campaign, highlighted by his superb strike in Saturday’s Merseyside derby win over Everton.

Gravenberch, who joined from Bayern Munich for £35 million, only turned 23 in May. He is already under contract until 2028, but Liverpool want to reflect his growing importance with improved terms. Club insiders describe him as “a player central to the future of the team” and see him as one of the cornerstones of the midfield for years to come.

Ryan Gravenberch has been nothing short of transformative since his arrival from Bayern Munich. At just 23, he already looks like the heartbeat of the midfield, capable of dictating tempo, breaking lines with his passing, and scoring goals at crucial moments. That strike against Everton was another reminder of his technical ability and composure under pressure.

Securing him on a longer-term deal is about more than contracts and figures. It is about showing ambition, rewarding progress, and sending a message that the club wants to build around players of his calibre. Liverpool have been criticised in the past for failing to refresh their midfield quickly enough, but with Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, and Dominik Szoboszlai, the foundations now look solid.

Fans will be delighted to see the club act decisively. Even though his current deal runs until 2028, offering improved terms shows trust and ensures no distractions in the years ahead. Supporters view Gravenberch as someone who could lead this midfield into a new era. Extending his stay feels like both a reward and an investment in Liverpool’s future.
