Barcelona are reportedly interested in signing 23-year-old Dutch midfielder Ryan Gravenberch from Liverpool next year.

According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Barcelona are preparing a €50 million move for Ryan Gravenberch. The 23-year-old midfielder has been outstanding for Liverpool since arriving from Bayern Munich, and he is currently one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.

Barcelona would do well to secure his signature once they firm up their interest in him. They need more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and the Netherlands international certainly fits the profile.

Gravenberch has the physicality and technical ability to thrive in La Liga, and he could be a star for Barcelona. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool are willing to sanction his departure. Recent reports have claimed that the Reds are keen on tying the Dutchman to a new contract.

It is highly unlikely that Liverpool will sell one of the best players in the Premier League for €50 million. Barcelona will have to come forward with a substantial offer to convince the Premier League champions. In addition, the Dutch midfielder has no reason to force an exit from the Premier League club.

Gravenberch is enjoying his football at Liverpool, and it seems unlikely that Barcelona will be able to get the deal done. The Catalan outfit is going through financial difficulties, and they have limited resources. They will not be able to afford the premium needed to sign the player.

Liverpool must keep Gravenberch

Furthermore, there have been rumours that Liverpool are hoping to agree on a new deal with the player. The Merseyside outfit will not want to lose a midfielder of his quality any time soon. They are already lacking in depth in the middle of the park. Keeping the Netherlands international at the club will be one of the priorities.

The 23-year-old Dutchman is a young player with a lot of potential. Gravenberch is still improving, and he could develop into a world-class player. Liverpool cannot afford to lose players like him if they want to fight for major trophies regularly. It remains to be seen whether they can convince him to commit his long-term future to the club.
