Liverpool were dealt a blow in their pursuit of Jude Bellingham

Liverpool are reportedly eyeing up Bayern Munich’s Ryan Gravenberch as they look to sign an alternative to Jude Bellingham.

The Reds were dealt a huge blow in their pursuit of the England international, who has been heavily linked with a move to Anfield, after being priced out of a move.

As a result, Liverpool are weighing up other options as they prepare to refresh their midfield options in light of an underwhelming season.

Sky Sports are reporting that Bayern midfielder Gravenberch – who was linked with a move to Merseyside back in January – is one of those being considered.

Gravenberch has struggled for game time since making the move from Ajax and the 20-year-old could be allowed to leave the Allianz Arena in search of more regular game time.

During a recent interview with Ajax showtime, the youngster revealed that he would be open to a move away from Bavaria in the summer.

He said: “Ideally, I would like to be successful at Bayern, but if that doesn’t work out and I don’t get a chance, then I might have to look around.

“At the moment I’m not thinking about it and I hope that I can change my situation at Bayern by training and playing well.

“I’m still very young and I’m glad I’m experiencing something like this now and not later in my career.”
