Ryan Gravenberch is ‘pushing’ Thomas Tuchel to convince him to stay at Bayern Munich after Jurgen Klopp made it clear he wants to bring him to Liverpool, according to Christian Falk.
Gravenberch made the move from Ajax to Bayern last summer but has struggled for consistent playing time.
The recent sacking of Julian Nagelsmann probably gave the Dutch international some hope he will be given some more minutes.

It looks like the Liverpool hierarchy are willing to spend a lot of money this summer, but were clearly reluctant to blow the majority of their budget on a single player.
The Reds host Tottenham on Sunday as both teams try to give themselves a chance of finishing inside the top four.
On the topic of midfielders, Klopp has said he is “really happy” to have Curtis Jones back in time for the huge clash at Anfield.
