Liverpool are reportedly pushing to reach an agreement over the transfer of Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch.
Having spent much of the season outside of the top four in the Premier League standings, it has long been determined that Liverpool will undergo a rebuild in the summer.
Their major business is expected to come in midfield with Naby Keita, Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain and James Milner all in line to be out of contract, the former two more likely to depart Anfield than the latter.
Nevertheless, regardless of whether Milner agrees a fresh 12-month deal, Liverpool have been tipped to make at least two major additions in the centre of the pitch.
While the likes of Jude Bellingham and Matheus Nunes of Borussia Dortmund and Wolverhampton Wanderers are thought to be high up on Liverpool's wishlist, alternatives are also being identified.
If reports are to be believed, that includes Gravenberch, who has endured a frustrating first campaign at Bayern since departing Ajax.
The 20-year-old has been provided with just four starts and 20 substitute outings in all competitions, accumulating just 684 minutes of game time.
According to Fichajes, Liverpool are ready to try to take advantage of the situation and sign the Netherlands international.
The report suggests that Liverpool are closing in on an agreement for a player who cost £16m last summer, a consequence of having just one year left on his Ajax contract.
Although Gravenberch has done nothing to increase his price-tag, Bayern will almost certainly insist on making a profit if they are to agree to a sale, citing the player's potential as the primary reason.
The relevant parties are said to be in advanced negotiations ahead of a summer move, although it does not state whether it would be a permanent or temporary basis.
Gravenberch will focus on impressing at Bayern for the remainder of the campaign, looking to earn more than just the 21 minutes of playing time that he has been given since February 18.
He started the game at Borussia Monchengladbach on that particular date, only for Bayern to be reduced to 10 men after just eight minutes and his withdrawal coming at the break.
