Rafael van der Vaart claims that Liverpool target Ryan Gravenberch is “better” than Jude Bellingham.

The Reds, along with Manchester United and Arsenal, are said to be having talks with Gravenberch’s agents as the Dutchman considers leaving Bayern Munich. Van der Vaart believes the midfielder has massive potential:

“What I think is the big difference (between the two players); Bellingham is a step lower at a club and always plays. I think Gravenberch is better than him, in every way. Especially physically.”

Gravenberch only made the switch to Bayern from Ajax at the start of the season, but he has struggled for game time with the Bundesliga champions.

Liverpool have been tipped as a potential destination but Jurgen Klopp’s side are thought to be considering a number of different options, in addition to the Dutchman.

Brighton pair Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo are said to be on the club’s radar, along with Chelsea’s Mason Mount, West Ham’s Declan Rice and Inter Milan’s Nicolo Barella.

Considering that the Reds are looking for more than one midfielder, Gravenberch could be brought in along with one of these other targets. We shall see how this transfer story unfolds.
