The former Southampton man demonstrated his shooting ability with a series of powerful efforts on goal, much to the appreciation of his Liverpool teammates.
Rare are the moments when our No.4 is free in the area to unleash a devasting attempt at the ‘keeper, though it’s always handy to have a secret weapon available should circumstances line up neatly for the centre-back.
The 21-year-old midfielder has long been admired by Jurgen Klopp and the Reds’ hierarchy. However, Bayern’s stance was always not to sell.
That seems to have changed now, with the German champions preferring to move for Fulham’s Joao Palhinha, while sanctioning Gravenberch’s exit – for the right fee.
Liverpool have two days to come to an agreement on price and sort personal terms with the player, in order to land their fourth midfield signing of the summer.
If he arrives, Klopp will have got his desired ‘versatile’ option, with Gravenberch able to play a variety of roles across the midfield.
The Ajax academy graduate is also – despite a poor season in Germany – one of Europe’s top young talents and could be an exciting long-term addition at Anfield.
Should terms be agreed, he will head to Merseyside for a medical before being unveiled ahead of Friday’s 23:00 BST transfer deadline.
WHEN COULD GRAVENBERCH MAKE HIS DEBUT?
Even if Gravenberch is officially a Liverpool player by the weekend, it’s unlikely he’ll be ready to be thrown into the action straight away against Aston Villa.
The Dutch starlet has made just one substitute appearance for Bayern so far this season, and is unlikely to even get a training session in with the Reds in before they host Unai Emery’s side this Sunday.
A much more realistic date for his Liverpool bow would be the first game after the international break, when the Reds travel to Wolves on Saturday, 16 September.
A first Anfield appearance could come in the following Premier League tie with West Ham (24 September) or the Carabao Cup third round tie with Leicester (26 September).
