'He's good enough' - Ryan Gravenberch's agent says Liverpool star 'would love to play' for Real Madrid but explains why move is 'impossible'

<p>After being reshaped into a deep-lying playmaker, Gravenberch has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/mohamed-salah-ballon-dor-trent-alexander-arnold-injury-six-problems-liverpool-premier-league-glory/blt5b87758b4c9f4657" target="_blank">flourished in the No.6 position</a>, dictating play and anchoring the midfield with composure and physicality. Initially considered a fallback option after Liverpool failed to secure top target Martin Zubimendi, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bad-news-liverpool-injured-ryan-gravenberch-forced-out-netherlands-spain-nations-league-clashes/blt7aa52b213906a649" target="_blank">Gravenberch has proven to be a more</a> than capable alternative. In fact, his consistent displays have arguably made him one of the standout performers in the Premier League this campaign.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>In an interview with <a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/futbol-internacional/2025/04/10/jose-fortes-espanol-cuida-legado-raiola-gravenberch-kluivert-ven.html" target="_blank"><em>Marca,</em></a> Gravenberch’s agent Jose Rodriguez offered a glimpse into the player’s mindset and lofty aspirations right from his childhood. He revealed that top European clubs have been interested in his client since he was a teenager, with both Barcelona and Real Madrid among his suitors. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>“When Ryan was 16, Barça called us. They wanted to sign him, but his father and I prioritized his development,” Rodriguez recalled. "At Ajax, he was able to develop in a way that he possibly wouldn't have at Barça."</p><p>Now, as Gravenberch continues to shine at the highest level, Rodriguez believes his client has reached a point where he could comfortably fit in at Real Madrid.</p><p>"He's good enough for Real Madrid," Rodriguez admitted. "We would love for him to play for them, but Liverpool would ask for a lot of money. I know they've had their eye on him, but now it's impossible."</p><p></p><p></p>

WHAT RODRIGUEZ SAID

<p>Given his form and long-term contract, Liverpool are in no rush to entertain offers. Reports suggest that the Merseyside club has placed a valuation on Gravenberch that could climb to €90 million (£77m/$100m), a price tag that reflects both his current impact and his future potential. Such a sum could ward off even the biggest suitors, including Real Madrid, who are said to be monitoring his situation. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Despite the talk surrounding his future, Gravenberch remains focused on Liverpool’s current campaign. The Reds are cruising in the title race, and the Dutch midfielder will be a central figure once again as they face West Ham United on Sunday.</p>
