The Netherlands International has become an increasingly important figure at the club and he was an influential presence in last season’s title-winning campaign. Gravenberch, who was signed from Bayern Munich in the summer of 2023 when Jurgen Klopp was reshaping Liverpool’s midfield, is only 23 but he has agreed a deal that will keep him at Anfield until the end of 2031-32 season. He is considered to be one of the best young midfielders in Europe and, accordingly, his new terms represent that: a report in De Telegraaf, the highly-respected newspaper in Amsterdam, indicates he will earn more than £80million over the next six years, the equivalent of £250, 000 per week. Liverpool’s recent accounts show that they have the highest wage bill in the Premier League but the club believe the ongoing investment is a reflection in their ambition to keep pushing for success. ‘I feel really, really good, ’ Gravenberch told the club's website. ‘I was really proud to extend my contract at such a big club. So, I’m really happy that I can stay for many more years. ‘I felt directly the trust from the club, also from the manager. The decision for me was easy to make. My family is also happy here. We are now here almost three years, so I know everything already. I’m happy that I’m here. Ryan Gravenberch has penned a new deal to stay with Liverpool under 2032 ‘I have a really nice relationship with the fans. Always when I do something good in the stadium I hear them singing my chant. ‘I’m really grateful for the supporters because without them we would not be where we are now. In the future, we want to give them many more [trophies], so hopefully we can get that done. ’
