Gravenberch has emerged as Liverpool’s standout player in the early weeks of the season, having adapted to a deeper midfield role alongside Alexis Mac Allister. The midfielder credits discussions with Slot for enabling him to mirror his performances from his time at Ajax, which initially captured the attention of top European clubs.
Ryan Gravenberch said, “I just do my own thing. The things I did at Ajax, I do now too. I discuss everything with him. It’s mainly about football. We spoke last season and then it’s also about life. I have a good relationship with him and I’m very happy that he’s here. We think the same. He loves football and building from the back. That suits me very well.”
During an interview with ESPN, Gravenberch shared his aspirations for the current campaign while reflecting on his visit to Ajax where he watched their 3-1 victory over Groningen.
Ryan Gravenberch said, “I’m at a top club now, Liverpool. I played a lot more last season than the season before. That was my goal. This season my goal is to play even more than last season and I’m well on my way.”
