Ryan Gravenberch has wasted little time making his mark at Liverpool since joining from Bayern Munich. The 23-year-old Dutch midfielder has become a key figure under Arne Slot, impressing with his energy, composure, and ability to dictate play from the middle of the park.
His performances have not gone unnoticed in Spain. According to Fichajes, Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso is a strong admirer and has urged president Florentino Pérez to target Gravenberch as a priority signing. Alonso reportedly believes the Dutchman would add quality and depth to Madrid’s midfield.
Whether Los Blancos make an official move remains to be seen, but prising Gravenberch away from Anfield will not be straightforward. Liverpool view him as central to their project, and any potential deal is expected to demand at least €75 million.
For now, Gravenberch is thriving on Merseyside, competing for major honours and playing regularly. Yet the pull of Real Madrid—arguably the most prestigious club in world football—could prove difficult to ignore should a concrete offer arrive.
Madrid’s interest in Liverpool players doesn’t stop there. The club has already secured Trent Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer and continues to monitor Ibrahima Konaté, hinting at a broader strategy targeting Anfield talent.
Gravenberch’s future may ultimately hinge on Madrid’s transfer priorities next summer and whether the player himself is tempted by the allure of the Santiago Bernabéu.
