Liverpool offer club £25m signing profit: decision made

Liverpool are keen to sign Ryan Gravenberch before the winter transfer window closes and the latest reports indicate that the Reds have even made an offer.

According to Tutto Mercato Web, Liverpool have made an offer worth 41.2 million pounds (48 million euros) to sign the Dutch international from Bayer Munich.

The Italian source reported that the 21-year-old central midfielder has already made it clear that he will want to leave Allianz this summer.

The German champion paid around 18.5 million euros last year to take over Gravenbech from Ajax.

In a €48m offer, Liverpool have offered the Bundesliga club the chance to make a profit of around €29.5m on a player who started just three league games last season. However, the Bavarians still rejected the move to Anfield, having decided to keep the Netherlands in the national team.

After remaining on the bench for an entire season, things have not changed for the Orange midfielder this season either.

Gravenberch hasn’t played a minute in the current league so far (two games) and it’s fair to say that he has to go forcefully by submitting a transfer request.

Another season like the previous one would greatly increase the chances of missing next year’s European Championships with the national team.

Liverpool more likely to sign £38million player than Tottenham, he wants to join them – reporter

Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie will join Liverpool ahead of Tottenham Hotspur.

Hincapie has been linked with a move to Anfield as the Reds look for a promising left centre-back.

And according to journalist Ben Jacobs it is a move that would please the player very much. However, on the Last Word On Spurs podcast, Jacobs said that while Liverpool may be the most likely destination for Hincapie, they are still not entirely convinced of him.

“The last name I would put on the centre-back, even though I think he’s potentially more Liverpool and maybe still West Ham, is still [Piero] Hincapie,” explained the journalist. “He is a left-wing central defender, with very high potential and good experience, and Tottenham have certainly gathered numbers and data on him. I don’t think they have selected him at the moment but he could be a name to watch if he wants to move up to the Premier League in the coming weeks.

“I don’t think it’s fair at this stage to say Spurs are in the running, but bear in mind the point I made earlier about what happens if you miss a goal. Who do you turn to in the last few hours of the window and that’s where you could get some surprises.

“But I’ve been told that if he becomes a Premier League club the player would love Liverpool, but he’s not quite sold yet and West Ham, who have been missing Harry Maguire, are still a club to watch.”

Liverpool linked up with Hincapie

At his most basic form, Hincapie fulfills what Liverpool are presumably looking for in a new defensive signing. Youngster with great potential, already playing in one of Europe’s top leagues and – crucially – left-handed.

It would also seem that his signing would not cost much. Last week, Ecuadorian newspaper Teradeportes reported that Leverkusen would demand around £38million to sell the Ecuadorian. It’s well within reach for Liverpool.

Still, we know the Reds don’t usually attack a player unless they fully believe in him. Also at a relatively cheap price.

To that end, they’re supposed to be keeping tabs on Hincapie, presumably to gauge his true level.

If they think the 21-year-old is worth a try, we might see some movement next week. From what I hear, Hincapie would be more than happy to join us.

But it’s also worth mentioning that the centre-back has the same agent as Moises Caicedo. Not a man or organization that Liverpool have enjoyed success with of late. You might want to stay away. One thing to keep in mind though.
