The new Fab Four of Liverpool! With the addition of Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, and Endo to his midfield to replace veterans

Liverpool’s New Fantastic Four! Jurgen Klopp completes £145m rebuild of his midfield with arrivals of Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister and Endo to replace Saudi veterans Henderson and Fabinho

Let’s talk about six, honey. That was the famous phrase Jurgen Klopp coined when Liverpool won their sixth European Cup in Madrid, a play on the Salt-N-Pepa hit Let’s Talk About Sex.
Four years later, the Reds’ summer semester history is roughly six years.

The long search for a number 6 – a midfielder who favors those who prefer the traditional language – has seen them publicly drop two important goals, fight to sign a little-known 30-year-old and finish in the bottom two. hours of Deadline Day, make it feel light in the central areas.

But with an hour and a quarter remaining in England’s transfer window, Liverpool have finally released the official announcement: Ryan Gravenberch has arrived from Bayern Munich.
Klopp and sporting director Jörg Schmätäke have finally found their man.

The Dutch midfielder completed the incredible four midfield additions for Klopp and Co after new additions Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister and Wataru Endo.

Three of the four new signings are 24 or younger and the Liverpool midfielder now looks refreshed.

Liverpool have signed Dutch midfielder Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich for £35million.

The Reds finalized their trip one hour and 15 minutes before the end of the transfer window.

You didn’t have to be a football expert to see how desperate the Merseyside club were to rebuild.
Although they finished fifth last season after a late rebound in form, the midfielder has often been blamed for a significantly below average season.
And so Klopp approved the departure of James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita, as they went on loan for Fabio Carvalho.
But they were rocked by two unplanned exits in mid-summer when Jordan Henderson and Fabinho left for Saudi Arabia.

Henderson’s departure sparked a major debate after the Englishman betrayed the LGBTQ+ community by relinquishing previous allegiances as one of the few high-profile male players to support gay people.
A football-related debate soon ensued about what Klopp’s team was losing.

Although Henderson and Fabinho had seen better days on the pitch – neither had reached their top level last season – the pair’s departure left Liverpool incredibly light in midfield and they entered the new season without a recognized midfielder.
Endo was a bargain at £16.2m but was clearly not the club’s No.6 first choice after public prosecutions for Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia.
As things stand, Liverpool are left with four midfielders for barely more than Chelsea paid for Ecuadorian Caicedo.

“We had to reinvent the team, the midfield will be like this and completely new, in recent years we had to do the same with our front,” said Klopp, who says he is particularly happy with the new arrivals.
They lacked the appeal of Champions League football.

“We got younger but we had to, we have less experience but that’s normal but we are full of desire.” I love this team.
Age is not a problem. These players have already played many matches at a very high level.

“I know it’s been a long time, but in Dortmund we became the youngest champions in history and a year later we became the second youngest champions in history because the team was a year old.
more.

It’s not a problem, it didn’t hold us back then and it won’t hold us back now.”

After three league games this season, Szoboszlai is shaping up to be one of the best signings of the summer.

Unlike long sagas about a defensive midfielder, Szoboszlai was quick to wrap up, signing just three days after negotiations with Liverpool began.
Sporting director Jorg Schmadtke is said to have been instrumental in much of the summer’s activities, noting that three of the German’s four signings have come from Bundesliga clubs.
José Fortes Rodriguez, right arm of former super agent Mino Raiola, is also influential.

In their last six starts this summer, Liverpool have lost 1,776 Premier League games.

But all the new guys, despite their young age, have considerable experience.

Endo and Szoboszlai are the captains of their respective national teams, respectively of Japan and Hungary.

Mac Allister won a World Cup and was instrumental in Argentina’s success.

Those close to the former Brighton player say he is ‘like a bulldog’ in training.

Although it didn’t work out at Bayern Munich, Gravenberch played over 100 times for Ajax.

Klopp likes Gravenberch for his versatility and the Dutchman will play all over midfield.

This completes the remodeling of the midfield.
“Ryan knows he needs to improve but he’s 21, it would be crazy not to,” the manager said.

“But he’s super talented, he can control the ball, he can be a box-to-box threat.

He has good feeling for a pass and a good pass.
I’ve said before that we have a big challenge to reinvent one of the most successful midfielders this club has ever had and I really like that.
