Being a player Jurgen Klopp is said to hugely admire, not to mention possessing vast amounts of potential that have yet to be realised at Bayern Munich, the conditions are arguably ripe for us to swoop in and potentially transform the Dutchman’s career.
Gravenberch has previously admitted a preference to stay put and prove his worth in Bavaria, though with no minutes accumulated in the Super Cup defeat to RB Leizpig and Thomas Tuchel’s men showing a keen interest in further expanding their midfield department, one must question exactly how much game-time he’ll be getting in Germany.
Another switch to a completely different league, of course, will undoubtedly pose its own challenges, and the situation has evolved since the start of the window prior to our acquisition of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.
That said, it seems as if the midfielder would have an actual clean slate to work from under Jurgen Klopp were he to take another chance on his career.
