Liverpool may no longer have enough time to execute the “perfect” signing.

With the Reds racing against the clock to sign the Bayern Munich midfielder in time, Liverpool may have run out of time to sign Ryan Gravenberch.

Time is running out for the Anfield giants to sign the Dutchman, according to journalist Alfredo Pedulla, as Bayern are looking to replace Gravenberch before selling him to Liverpool.

Although the midfielder and the Reds are frantically trying to complete a deal, given the short amount of time left in the window, Liverpool actually runs the risk of losing out on Gravenberch.

As Pedulla points out, even though the Reds have once again handled this transfer poorly, there’s a good chance that this issue would not have arisen had Liverpool made their move to sign the youngster last week.

Indeed, Liverpool supporters are aware that their team has handled this deal poorly once again and that time is now running out because Jurgen Klopp is thought to view Gravenberch as the “perfect” midfield addition.

Liverpool left it too late to sign Gravenberch, and they may soon pay the price for it. Transfers can be accelerated in the final days of the window, but there’s no denying that they did.

Liverpool should have moved for Gravenberch way earlier this summer

To say that Liverpool has made some underwhelming signings this summer, including Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, would be an understatement.
Gravenberch may soon join that list.

The fact that Liverpool cannot make any more mistakes Alfredo Pedulla now and tomorrow night for Gravenberch is universally acknowledged as the fact that time is running out.

With the benefit of hindsight, Liverpool realizes that they ought to have made a move for the midfielder much earlier in the transfer window because the Reds were a team that stood to gain from completing their transactions first.

Jurgen Klopp intervenes as angry Virgil van Dijk ‘insults’ officials over Liverpool red

Virgil van Dijk was sent off in a nightmarish first half for Liverpool against Newcastle.

Jurgen Klopp stepped in by seemingly pushing Virgil van Dijk through the tunnel after the Liverpool defender was sent off against Newcastle. Van Dijk has been sacked for the first time in his Reds career after bringing down Aleksandar Isak to deny a clear scoring chance.

The Dutchman was visibly angry with the decision and it took him some time before he walked off the pitch. He continued to yell at referee John Brooks, with Sky Sports commentator Gary Neville implying he was “insulting” the referee. Van Dijk eventually made his way to the touchline and continued yelling at the fourth official, sounding like he was cursing in his face. Liverpool manager Klopp then appeared to step in to prevent his experienced star from getting into further trouble.

Klopp gently nudged Van Dijk through the tunnel and away from the scene, where the defender clearly wanted to continue arguing his case against the fourth official. The German then continued to protest with the agents, risking being reprimanded.

Van Dijk’s red card came as part of a chaotic first half for Liverpool at St. James’ Park. Fellow defender Trent Alexander-Arnold narrowly escaped sending off in the opening six minutes.

The England defender was booked after three minutes for throwing the ball away after a decision he didn’t like – now considered a mandatory yellow card under guidelines given to referees at the start of the season. Moments later, the right-back cynically brought down Anthony Gordon.

Umpire Brooks only let an embarrassed Alexander-Arnold get away with a warning. But it was the English ace’s mistake that led Newcastle to open the scoring midway through the first half. Mohamed Salah’s poor pass proved too much for Alexander-Arnold to control, allowing Gordon to escape on goal. The former Everton winger coolly passed Alisson.

Newcastle then had the chance to make it 2-0. Isak collected Gordon’s pass and appeared to be one-on-one with Alisson, only for Van Dijk to bring down the Swede savagely.

Brooks had no choice but to show the 32-year-old the red card. Van Dijk will miss the match between Liverpool and Aston Villa next weekend, but his apparent abuse of the referee and fourth official could cost him an extended suspension.

Speaking of Sky’s match commentary, ex-Manchester United defender Neville said: ‘Now he’s abusing the referee. You just have to take your medicines and leave the pitch. We’ve all been there.’
