Liverpool star set to be rewarded with new contract offer image

One of Liverpool's most consistent and standout players is set to be recognised by the club for his consistent displays in a red shirt.

Midfielder Ryan Gravenberch has excelled since Arne Slot took over at Anfield, with The Reds boss reshaping his fellow Dutchman into one of the best sitting midfielders in the Premier League.

Gravenberch's displays in a deeper midfield role made him one of Liverpool's most impactful players in last season's title-winning campaign.

He has carried over his high performance levels into the current season, and has been on the scoresheet in wins over Newcastle United and Everton.

The player's resurgence comes after a challenging and underwhelming first campaign in a red shirt under previous manager Jurgen Klopp.

Now, the Dutchman's impactful contributions on the pitch for Slot's side appear to have been rewarded.

New contract on the way for Gravenberch

According to talkSPORT's Alex Crook, the 23-year-old is set to be handed a new long-term contract offer by his current club.

Gravenberch's existing deal with Liverpool that he signed when joining from Bayern Munich in 2023 expires in 2028.

There is seemingly no rush for Liverpool to tie the midfielder down due to him still having three years left on his current contract, but the club feels it is necessary to acknowledge the Dutchman's value to the team.

Any new contract offer would likely include a significant salary increase for Gravenberch due to his current importance to Slot's side.
