Liverpool sign Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich for £35 million

Liverpool Football Club have announced the signing of Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich for £35 million.

An agreement was reached for the transfer on Thursday before the 21-year-old passed a medical at the club's AXA Training Complex on Friday.

It's a move that has fans excited about the potential of the season ahead after it appeared for weeks as though Jurgen Klopp might be left shorthanded in midfield once again.

A deal has now been completed and it's one that the player is extremely excited about.

What did Gravenberch say upon signing his Liverpool contract?

Speaking to the club's official website, the Dutch midfielder shared his hopes and aspirations after signing a five-year agreement.

“I’m very happy. Very happy that the deal is done and I’m finally here,” Gravenberch told the official Liverpool website.

“If you see it from the outside, it’s one of the biggest clubs in the world. Also the fans, the stadium, I think everything from the outside is top. So that’s why [it was the right club].”

What did Jurgen Klopp say about signing Gravenberch?

Speaking after adding yet another incredibly talented midfielder to his squad, Klopp said: "Really happy to bring him in because he’s an exceptional talent. Everybody knows that.

"He is 21, played over 100 games for Ajax already. Had a, I wouldn’t even say difficult season at Bayern because in that age group it’s completely normal; you go into a world-class team and he had his minutes and stuff like this.

"But how Thomas Tuchel said today in the press conference in Munich I think, the position he is best at, they don’t really have in their system. We have that – that’s good.

"We have a lot of games to play. We will see how long he needs now because I don’t know, we need to have a look at that. He had a full pre-season, that’s good.

"The medical was as clear as it can be pretty much, looks really fit. That’s all positive.

"Unfortunately we have now an international break and cannot work directly together, he is I think with the U21s for Holland.

"But when he is back we start it. Very excited about it. He is a smart boy. When I talked to him I realised that pretty quickly. And he loves to be here, it’s a good thing as well.
