# Liverpool ‘fans’ of Ajax’s £29.7m-rated teenage midfielder labelled ‘star in the making’

This summer could be huge in regards to Liverpool’s current transfer activity.

The Reds have already seen Dutchman Georginio Wijnaldum [depart the club in favour of a move to PSG](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/06/11/liverpool-wijnaldum-psg-departure/).

Not only this, but the club have also invested in their defensive options with the [signing of Ibrahima Konaté](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/05/28/liverpool-sign-ibrahima-konate/).

It had been confirmed following Konaté announcement that [the club won’t stop there according to Fabrizio Romano](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/06/07/liverpool-summer-signings-inbound/).

The Italian confirmed that further signings would be made this window by the Reds.

However, Wijnaldum’s departure has generated plenty of rumours over a potential replacement for the 30-year-old.

One of which includes Ajax’s teenage sensation Ryan Gravenberch, who [Goal’s Neil Jones](https://www.goal.com/en-ke/news/talk-about-an-underrated-player-are-liverpool-already-regretting-/4xu2hveszvf41wbe786724puj) recently spoke about…

As cited by [Anfield Watch](https://twitter.com/AnfieldWatch/status/1408338410931171328), Jones confirmed in a recent piece that the club are big fans of the 19-year-old.

Gravenberch is another of the Dutch side’s incredible youth prospects, having come up through their youth system.

At such a tender age, Gravenberch is already a key component of Ajax’s midfield, playing [32 league games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-gravenberch/leistungsdaten/spieler/478573).

Not only this, but the teenager has also made [two appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-gravenberch/nationalmannschaft/spieler/478573) for the Netherlands at this years Euros.

Gravenberch [started](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-gravenberch/nationalmannschaft/spieler/478573) the countries [3-0 win](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/19692/12338042/north-macedonia-0-3-netherlands-georginio-wijnaldum-double-sees-dutch-top-group-c-with-100-per-cent-record) over North Macedonia on Monday, and he certainly impressed.

With a current [market value](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-gravenberch/marktwertverlauf/spieler/478573) of £29.7million, the youngster is already [attracting plenty of attention](https://www.footballtransfers.com/en/transfer-news/2021/03/who-is-ryan-gravenberch-the-ajax-hotshot-linked-with-man-utd-barcelona-and-juventus).

However, this summer it is unlikely that the Reds would make a move for the youngster given their [supposed financial position.](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/06/08/liverpool-summer-finance-struggles/)
