Andy Robertson’s Side-Splitting Welcome as Ryan Gravenberch Joins Liverpool

by ·

Andy Robertson welcomed the newest addition to the Liverpool squad, Ryan Gravenberch, in a way that left everyone in stitches. Gravenberch, who recently sealed his transfer from Bayern Munich to Liverpool for a cool £34.3 million, had only been with Bayern for a single season after making a £15.8 million move from Ajax.

Liverpool’s midfield underwent a significant overhaul, with several key players departing, but the club has swiftly signed replacements, including Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, and now Gravenberch.

Gravenberch got his first taste of life at Liverpool when he met his Netherlands compatriots Virgil van Dijk and Cody Gakpo at the Melwood training facility. After a brief chat with them, he encountered the ever-jovial left-back Andy Robertson.

With a cheeky grin, Robertson greeted him with the witty line: “Finally! A good Dutch player!” He followed it up with, “You okay, brother? You good? Nice to meet you.” The second line was delivered amidst the uproarious laughter of van Dijk in the background.

Gravenberch, the new no.38 for Liverpool, joins the squad as the third senior Dutch member. The Reds are determined to improve on their last season’s performance, where they finished 5th without any silverware. Gravenberch had a somewhat limited role at Bayern Munich, making only 24 Bundesliga appearances in the 2022/23 season, with just three starts.

Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool’s manager, expressed confidence in Gravenberch’s abilities, saying, “Ryan knows he has to improve things but he’s 21, it would be crazy if not. But he is super-talented, he can drive the ball, he can be a box-to-box threat. He has a good eye for a pass and a good pass. I said before, we have a big challenge to reinvent pretty much one of the most successful midfields this club ever had, and I really like it.”

With these exciting new acquisitions, Liverpool aims to bounce back from their previous season’s disappointments and make a strong push for trophies.
