Barça Cross Their Fingers for Real Madrid to Sign Gravenberch for This Reason

The winter transfer market is getting closer and closer and with it, an unexpected move could take place. Looking for a quality midfielder to reinforce this position, Real Madrid have set their sights on Gravenberch . His transfer, although complicated, has raised hopes in Barcelona.

With their financial situation dire, the Catalans are confident that the Merengue team will be able to pull off this operation . The reason behind this is Frenkie de Jong and Liverpool's interest. The departure of the Dutch midfielder to the British squad would help the Catalans get rid of his millionaire salary.

Hope with Real Madrid

Since Kroos' retirement, Real Madrid have been looking for a player to consolidate their midfield . Ryan Gravenberch is the most solid option as he fits the profile that the team is looking for. At just 22 years old, the Dutchman has a youth and quality that is of great interest to the Merengue team.

However, his contract with Liverpool until 2028 makes his departure quite complicated , especially in the winter market. Even so, Real Madrid are confident of reaching an agreement to acquire his services. The success of the Merengues would cause a domino effect desired by Barcelona.

Despite the quality he showed at Ajax, De Jong never really stood out with the Catalans . After 6 seasons at Barcelona and strong interest from Liverpool, the blaugrana club would've no problem in allowing him to leave. Aware of their financial situation, the player's departure would alleviate the wage bill and provide good profits.

It all depends on Real Madrid

While continuing to undermine Barcelona is an interesting option, Real Madrid know they can't afford to let Gravenberch go . After his outstanding performances with Liverpool, the Dutchman has more than justified the interest in him.

With just a few weeks to go before the start of the winter transfer market, Real Madrid have got down to business. The chances of transfer Gravenberch are slim, but the Merengue team, and Barcelona, are confident of success .
