Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel has confirmed Ryan Gravenberch is set to leave the club and move to Liverpool in search of game time.
Thomas Tuchel offered an update on Gravenberch at a press conference on deadline day.
He also revealed the midfielder has wanted to leave the club for some time.
The Dutchman is expected to join Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool before the transfer window closes.
“The main problem for him is that we don’t really play with a No. 8 in our 4-2-3-1 system.
“And we’re spoilt for choice up front, with really experienced players,” he told reporters.
“Ryan is a very nice, hard-working, committed player.
“However, he wasn’t happy with his situation.
“He sees the chance in Liverpool to fight for a place at No.8 in a 4-3-3. He’s wanted to go for a while.
“An offer came in and we discussed it. It’s not done yet, but the outcome is clear.”
