The LaLiga side – who were defeated 3-0 by Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-final first leg on Tuesday – are also showing interest in Ibrahima Konate.

 

Additionally, the contract issues involving Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah remain unresolved – both will be out of contract on July 1, though reports suggest there has been advancement in negotiations to keep them at Liverpool.

 

Now, 22-year-old Gravenberch – a surprise standout in Arne Slot’s title-challenging team – may also be heading out.

 

The Dutch international’s agent, Jose Rodriguez, has stated “we would love him to join Real Madrid”.

Rodriguez told *Marca*: “When Ryan was 16, Barca called us. They wanted to sign him, but his father and I prioritised his development.

 

“At Ajax, he was able to develop in a way that he possibly wouldn’t have at Barca.”

 

Bringing it to 2025, Rodriguez added: “He’s good enough for Real Madrid.

 

“We would love for him to play for them.”

Nonetheless, Liverpool supporters can take some comfort, as Rodriguez indicated the switch won’t happen this year.

 

He said: “Liverpool would ask for a lot of money. I know Real have had their eye on him, but now it’s impossible.”

Liverpool fans expressed anger, with one labeling his agent “disrespectful”.

 

However, Rodriguez reassured them, stating: “I’m Spanish, it’s my dream club, not the dream club of Ryan.

 

“He is really, really happy, and if you ask Ryan, he will agree with you, no stress, keep calm.”

 

Gravenberch has been a critical element of Liverpool’s dynamic midfield trio this season, frequently appearing alongside Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.

 

The 18-cap Netherlands international – who arrived from Bayern Munich in the summer of 2023 for just £34.2million – was mostly a squad player during Jurgen Klopp’s tenure.

 

But after Liverpool failed to secure Martin Zubimendi last summer, Slot transitioned Gravenberch into a deeper No6 role.

 

His impressive displays have made him one of the Premier League’s biggest breakthroughs this season, with Liverpool – expected to be rebuilding – leading the league by 11 points over Arsenal, with only seven matches left.

 

Liverpool’s next fixture is against West Ham on Sunday as they aim to strengthen their position to clinch just their second Premier League title – and 20th top-flight trophy overall, potentially drawing level with bitter rivals Manchester United.

 

Meanwhile, Real Madrid are pursuing a revamped defensive lineup.

Aside from targeting Alexander-Arnold and considering a move for Konate, Real Madrid are also interested in Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen, only a year after his transfer from Roma.

 

Tottenham star Micky van de Ven’s representative has similarly commented that “one day play he’ll for a big club like Real Madrid”, which could spell trouble for Spurs.
