How much would Liverpool value Ryan Gravenberch at if Real Madrid were to try to sign the player?(Image: MB Media/Getty Images)

Liverpool's hierarchy will be on high alert after a telling interview from Ryan Gravenberch's agent revealed he "would love" to see his client play for Real Madrid.

The Dutch metronome has been ever-present for Arne Slot this season, starting all 31 Premier League games so far as the side streaks ahead in the all-but-over title race.

But, the player's agent, José Fortes revealed how he had previously been instrumental in securing the midfielder's move to Anfield after growing frustrated at a lack of first-team football with Bayern Munich.

"Ryan needed playing time to develop.

I told Nagelsmann (Bayern's coach at the time) that if he didn't play, he would leave," Fortes explained during an interview with Marca.

"We were clear that he had to go to Liverpool; he fit in perfectly with this team."

Gravenberch arrived from the Allianz Arena for €40million (£34.6m) in 2023 but the 22-year-old's agent has put Liverpool on the backfoot with his openness towards his client plying his trade elsewhere - and even his desire to see it happen.

Fortes added: "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.

I know they've had their eye on him, but now it's impossible."

It is clear, from his constant use of the player, that Slot would be reluctant to let his fellow Dutchman move to the Bernabéu.

But, how much might it take to bring Liverpool to the negotiation table and part ways with Gravenberch?

One way of breaking down any potential offer Anfield chiefs might deem worthy of relinquishing the services of the club's number 38 is by analysing what he is valued at in today's market.

The well-respected football data analysis expert, CIES Observatory holds a database on players based on numerous factors such as a player's age, contract length, previous transfer fees, performance metrics and demographic components to estimate what their parent club might value them at.

CIES estimates Ryan Gravenberch to have a transfer value of €85m - €107m (£73.1m - £92m).

This valuation ranks the midfielder as the Premier League's fifth most expensive player, behind Erling Haaland (€221m - €279m), Cole Palmer (€107m - €136m), Bukayo Saka (€100m - €126m) and Morgan Rogers (€92m - €117m).

Despite the words of his agent, there is nothing to suggest Gravenberch would be seeking a move away from Liverpool, especially off the back of what looks set to be a title-winning campaign.
