Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch has committed his future to the club by signing a new long-term contract at the AXA Training Centre.
The 23-year-old Dutch international, a key figure under Arne Slot, has put pen to paper on fresh terms that will extend his stay on Merseyside well beyond his initial three-year spell.
The stat: According to Transfermarkt, Gravenberch’s new deal runs until the summer of 2032, making his contract the longest of any current Liverpool player in the squad.
His market value has simultaneously skyrocketed to €90 million, establishing him as the most valuable Dutch footballer in the world.
What this means: By securing their midfield anchor on such a long-term pact, Liverpool have not only rewarded his transformation into one of Europe’s premier defensive midfielders but also protected an asset whose value has tripled since his €40 million arrival from Bayern Munich in 2023.

Our take: This isn’t just a contract extension; it’s a coronation. Gravenberch admitted he “didn’t like to defend” in the past, but under Slot, he has redefined his game and become the fulcrum of this Liverpool side.
Locking him down until 2032 longer than anyone else signals that the club is building its entire midfield future around him.
