Bayern Munich are reluctant to sell Ryan Gravenberch this summer.
The former Ajax midfielder is interesting a raft of Premier League clubs, with Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United all keen.
BILD's football chief Christian Falk is reporting Liverpool have already held a round of talks with Gravenberch's agents.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has made it clear he'd welcome the Dutchman to Anfield this summer.
However Bayern, for the moment, insist they do not want to lose the midfielder.
But their prime motivation in keeping Gravenberch is in order to have him as cover for incoming midfielder Konran Laimer from RB Leipzig. A position which may see Gravenberch force a move away.
