Bayern consistently said for months, he's not for sale. But he doesn't get in the first team. he wants to come to us. We want him. Klopp rates him. So we just keep buzzing around him.
Gravenberch was born after January of 2002 so he actually wouldn't take up a non-Homegrown spot - he's only 21.
So although I am not optimistic that we will bring a centre-back in at this late stage, we could theoretically nick Gravenberch asap with a view to doing centre-back business on the final day of the window - or in January.
They may have wanted to be close to having some of their own business done before letting someone go - often hard to know. Occasionally there are these domino effects in football. I know they're after that Geertruida (spelling?) chap from Feyenoord to strengthen at centre-back.
Gravenberch is an intriguing one. Young enough to be shaped into whatever we want him to be and has a good physique. He actually reminds me a little bit of Pogba during his good spell at Juventus in some ways, before Pogba became an absolute myth of a player and eventually just a source of meme material.
Also worth adding that they are after Palhinha - perhaps if they get that done, we get the green light on Gravenberch, so that Bayern aren't light in the numbers department.
