Ryan Gravenberch agreement will result in a Liverpool player’s demotion as Mohamed Salah’s value rises.
On the day that transfers were no longer allowed, Ryan Gravenberch finalized his move from Bayern Munich to Liverpool in a transaction that was worth up to £40 million.
The Reds’ persistence in trying to sign the 21-year-old player paid off, but his arrival will give Jurgen Klopp a difficult decision to make regarding the composition of his team as they approach the start of the current Europa League season.
The three teams that were drawn to face Liverpool in the group stages of the competition before the end of the calendar year were LASK, Union Saint-Gilloise, and Toulouse. At this time, the club has until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, September 3, to submit their squad for the group stages of the Europa League.
Because of the regulations of the competition, having Gravenberch on the roster would mean that Ben Doak would not get the chance to play in the first team, which would otherwise be a fantastic chance for the young Scotsman to get some playing time.
The real value of Mohamed Salah, as well as the £150 million secret that Saudi Arabia will not like to hear
In most cases, when a player is associated with a move away from a club, a collective sigh of relief may be heard upon the closing of the transfer window. However, the fact that the transfer window for the Saudi Pro League is still open offers cause for concern at Anfield.
The position that Mohamed Salah is not open for sale has been and will continue to be taken, a fact that was established beyond a reasonable doubt when an offer that might reach up to £150 million was turned down on Friday.
Normally, a figure like that, especially for a player who is 31 years old, would be too tempting to refuse. However, given the significance of the Egyptian player and the fact that any transfer price received would be meaningless until the January transfer window, accepting the offer during the summer would be completely futile.
