Liverpool’s signing of Ryan Gravenberch could spark a chain reaction that fuels a final frenzy in the summer transfer window. According to Live Cricket BPL experts, the club most affected by this move is none other than Manchester United. Gravenberch had been a mutual target for both Liverpool and United, but with Liverpool nearing an official announcement, United has been forced to pivot toward another shared target: Sofyan Amrabat.
Live Cricket BPL sources confirm that Gravenberch is open to joining Liverpool. After his move from Ajax to Bayern Munich last summer, he struggled to find regular playing time. While Bayern had previously insisted the Dutch midfielder was not for sale, that position seems to have softened. Although Liverpool initially explored a loan deal, talks quickly shifted to a permanent transfer. Negotiations between Liverpool and Bayern are ongoing, with few reported obstacles in the player’s personal contract.
Another narrative suggests that Manchester United’s early move for Amrabat may have pushed Gravenberch toward Liverpool. Regardless of which club made the first move, United is now facing new hurdles in securing Amrabat. In order to finalize the deal, they may be forced to sell Scott McTominay to Fulham to make financial room for the Fiorentina midfielder. Fiorentina has already turned down United’s loan offer and is now in renewed talks over a permanent deal.
Meanwhile, with Gravenberch expected to join Liverpool, Bayern has reportedly chosen Fulham’s João Palhinha as his replacement. This development, in turn, has Fulham looking for a new holding midfielder—and they’ve now set their sights on Amrabat as well.
Live Cricket BPL analysts have verified that Fulham is actively negotiating with Fiorentina for Amrabat’s transfer. The situation could corner United into offloading McTominay at a cut-price rate, just to block Fulham from snatching away their top midfield target. To complicate matters further, Fulham is also eyeing Tottenham’s Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, who, ironically, has also been linked to United in the final hours of the transfer window.
In this escalating midfield merry-go-round, United must act swiftly or risk being left empty-handed, all while their Premier League rivals capitalize on a domino effect sparked by one crucial signing.
