Liverpool now look set to sign Netherlands midfield꧟er 💯Ryan Gravenberch before the transfer window shuts on Friday.

Earlier on Thursday, ’s David Ornstein 𒉰broke some exciting news for the Reds faithful regarding the Bayern Munich ace.

He reported that Liverpool had agreed a deal with the Bundesliga side for Gravenber🤪ch, who has struggled for game time in Bavaria.

The 🐲journalist, writing in , said Liverpool and Bayern have agreed a fixed fee of €40million (£34million) for Gravenberch to move to Anfield.

Ornstein also reported that the player will fly to Liverpool tonight and undergo a medical ahead of peꦗnning a long-term contract at Anfi✤eld.

Now, there has been a slಌight twist in this transfer saga. We must emphasise ‘slight’. but nonet🦋heless it’s a minor twist.

Sky Sportꦏ Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg has reported that Gravenberch’s flight to Liverpool on Thurs🍸day evening has been cancelled.

He will now fly to Liverpool on Friday morning. And 🅷crucially, as per th💫e report on X, the Anfield move is not in danger.

It’s a done deal worth around £38.5million (including a🦄dd-ons) for a player who Jurgen Klopp really wanted to bring to Anfield, added P𓄧lettenberg.

Our view

Obviously 𝄹with the summer transfer window closing in just over 24 hours, every minute co꧅unts.

Gravenberꦯch’s flight getting cancelled is certainly an inconvenience.

However, with the flight coming on Friཧday morning, there should still be plenty of time to get a move sorted before 11pm BST.

Tꦺhe key thing is that Liverpool are෴ getting a top target over the line, and crucially, another midfielder to bolster their ranks in the middle.

With so many midfielders leaving Anfield this summer, fouღr new arrivalsܫ in the middle were absolutely essential for Klopp to bring in.
