By Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch has caught the attention of Real Madrid, but a transfer to the Spanish giants is currently off the table, according to his agent. In a recent interview with Spanish outlet Marca, Gravenberch’s agent, Jose Fortes Rodriguez, opened up about the 22-year-old’s future, revealing that while Real Madrid have been keeping tabs on the Dutch star, a move away from Anfield is not feasible right now.
🚨 Ryan Gravenberch’s agent Jose Fortes: “He’s good enough for Real Madrid. We would love for him to play for them, but Liverpool would ask for a lot of money”.

“He’s good enough for Real Madrid. We would love for him to play for them, but Liverpool would ask for a lot of money,” Fortes told Marca. He added, “I know they’ve had their eye on him, but now it’s impossible.” The statement, shared by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on X at 12:13 UTC on April 10, 2025, quickly sparked reactions from fans. Some Liverpool supporters expressed relief, with one user, @brownie1980uk, replying, “Fuck off @realmadrid,” while others, like @patronmetax, questioned whether Gravenberch is truly ready for a club of Madrid’s stature.
Gravenberch has been a key player for Liverpool this season, helping the team edge closer to the Premier League title. Since joining the Reds on September 1, 2023, from Bayern Munich, the defensive midfielder has grown into a vital part of the squad. His contract with Liverpool runs until June 30, 2028, and his current market value is estimated at €70 million, according to Transfermarkt. This hefty price tag, combined with Liverpool’s reluctance to let go of a core player, makes any potential transfer a steep challenge for Real Madrid.
The young Dutchman, born on May 16, 2002, in Amsterdam, has also been a topic of discussion in the Premier League. A recent feature on the Premier League’s official website highlighted his role in a crucial midfield battle against Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, who was named the EA SPORTS Player of the Month for September 2024. Gravenberch’s performances have earned him praise, with many noting his ability to control games and contribute defensively.
For now, Gravenberch remains focused on his role at Liverpool, where he continues to shine. As the Reds chase Premier League glory, fans will be hoping their star midfielder stays put for the long haul.
