# Virals: Ryan Gravenberch billed as ‘most intriguing player’ on Reds’ radar

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/06/27/virals-philippe-coutinho-wants-dream-return-to-liverpool/) are likely to be on the lookout for a Gini Wijnaldum replacement this summer after the Dutchman left the club as a free agent.

One man tentatively linked with the role is an [international teammate](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/netherlands-euro-2020-squad-holland-b1854259.html) of Wijnaldum, [Ryan Gravenberch](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/06/25/liverpool-fans-of-ryan-gravenberch/).

The Reds are believed to be among a [host of admirers](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9005661/Why-Ajax-wonderkid-Ryan-Gravenberch-wanted-Manchester-United-Juventus-Barcelona.html) of the 19-year-old Ajax midfielder and the Anfield club could make their interest known in the future.

According to a report from [Goal](https://www.goal.com/en-ke/news/talk-about-an-underrated-player-are-liverpool-already-regretting-/4xu2hveszvf41wbe786724puj), as cited by [The Anfield Buzz](https://twitter.com/TheAnfieldBuzz) on Twitter, Gravenberch is the ‘most intriguing player’ on the midfield shortlist.

The report notes that whilst nothing concrete is in place right now, the [seven-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-gravenberch/nationalmannschaft/spieler/478573/verein_id/3379) starlet is on the Anfield radar.

Gravenberh enjoyed a stellar 2020/21 campaign despite his tender age, [scoring five and registering six assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-gravenberch/leistungsdaten/spieler/478573) in 47 appearances across all competitions.

[Described](https://mobile.twitter.com/footballoranje_/status/1327353665133350913) as the ‘greatest talent’ in the Netherlands by former Ajax forward Wim Kieft, the all-action midfielder has certainly made an impression in a fledgeling carer.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Valued at £29.7million and under contract until 2023 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-gravenberch/marktwertverlauf/spieler/478573)), signing the Dutch youngster would represent a large layout for the club.

However, whilst the other names mentioned are immensely talented, at just 19 Gravenberg has the [potential](https://breakingthelines.com/player-analysis/player-analysis-ryan-gravenberch/) to be a star for many years to come.
