Third Liverpool transfer could be hijacked by Man Utd who midfield target ‘prefers’

Liverpool's pursuit of a new midfielder before the transfer window closes could be hit with another setback as Manchester United prepare a push to sign Jurgen Klopp's latest target.

Liverpool have already been rejected by Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, with both players opting to join Chelsea. The Reds have two weeks to secure a defensive midfielder before the transfer deadline on September 1.

One player Anfield chiefs have shown interest in is Bayern Munich's Ryan Gravenberch. The Dutch international had expressed his willingness to leave the Bundesliga champions earlier this summer for more playing time after a challenging first season in Germany.

However, talks stalled after Liverpool secured the signings of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. According to Foot Mercato (via the Express ), the Reds have made another attempt to bring Gravenberch to the club.

Negotiations are underway between Liverpool and the player's representatives and he is open to a move to England this summer. However, one major concern for is that Manchester United have also entered the race for Gravenberch's signature – and the 21-year-old is believed to prefer a move to Old Trafford.

Liverpool's interest in Gravenberch comes as they continue to search for midfield reinforcements following the departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to Saudi Arabia. United are searching the same market too with Fred leaving and Scott McTominay potentially following.

    "I found that especially difficult before the winter break. Now I handle it better. I assume that I will still be playing for Bayern next season. That's really how I feel about it. I'm in a top-three club in the world. I think that's beautiful and special. I'm not giving up easily. My goal is still to succeed at Bayern."
