Liverpool refuses to release Ryan Gravenberch despite Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso targeting the Dutch midfielder for transfer. TEAMtalk reports the Reds view the 23-year-old as fundamental to their squad structure. Management considers him untouchable after his stellar contributions during Liverpool's 2024-2025 Premier League championship campaign. Club officials plan to offer Gravenberch an extended contract through 2028 to secure his future. His exceptional displays under Arne Slot's guidance have elevated him to first-team regular status.

Alonso has identified Gravenberch as a priority signing for his Madrid reconstruction project. The player's transformation into a midfield anchor has attracted attention from multiple European giants. Former striker Peter Crouch labeled him Liverpool's standout performer this season following the Merseyside derby against Everton. His remarkable development from his departure from Bayern Munich to his success story at Anfield demonstrates his adaptability. Liverpool's firm stance signals its determination to retain key assets amid growing external interest.
