Liverpool are on the verge of finalizing the transfer of Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich.
Thomas Tuchel reveals Gravenberch’s impending move to Liverpool and discusses what he could add at Anfield.
Jurgen Klopp finally speaks out about Gravenberch’s ties to the Liverpool move.
Gravenberch will provide the Reds with a talented, strong midfielder who can play many positions.
With that said, let’s take a look at the two ways Liverpool can line up against Gravenberch.
Option 1: As part of a midfield trio
Gravenberch flourishes as a no.8, where he has the ability to create chances and control the tempo of the game for his team.
As a result, he could play as a no.8 alongside Alexis MacAllister, with the two helping Liverpool dominate games and create opportunities going forward.
Option 2: A more prominent role
While it is not his natural position, Gravenberch can play defensive midfield if necessary. He’s a decent defender who can also help create more chances from a deeper position.
Jurgen Klopp could give it a shot against weaker opponents, but Gravenberch is a viable alternative for that deeper slot.
