Liverpool have been credited with an interest in promising trio Ryan Gravenberch, Khephren Thuram and Micky Van de Ven in recent weeks, as Jurgen Klopp looks to bolster his options ahead of the 2023/2024 campaign.
Gravenberch, who is currently on international duty with the Netherlands at the under-21 European Championships, joined Bayern Munich last summer from Ajax for an initial fee of around £18m but has found time on the pitch hard to come by with the German champions.
He started just three times in the Bundesliga last term and said he plans to speak with manager Thomas Tuchel when he returns to Bavaria for showdown talks about his future.

Meanwhile, Van de Ven, another Dutch under-21 international who also plays his football in Germany, has hinted that his future lies away from Wolfsburg, admitting: "Hopefully, [moving to a bigger club] would be nice. The Premier League, maybe, yes. Who knows?"
Thuram, too, appears destined to complete a transfer this summer. Already a full French international, the 6,4 midfield powerhouse has caught the eye at OGC Nice this season and at just 22 years old is destined to improve further. Under contract until 2025, recent reports suggest he would cost at least £34m.
Undoubtedly, all three players will not be short of suitors this summer, though a report from Football Insider claims that the Reds may have an upper hand when it comes to potential transfer agreements.
They state that all three aforementioned players are represented by Team Raiola, the agency formed by the late super-agent Mino Raiola. Rafaela Pimenta, who succeeded Raiola, now leads the agency.
In any transfer, the bond between the club and representatives is always key and Liverpool's existing relationship with Pimenta could help get potential deals over the line. Pimenta was even spotted attending a match at Anfield in January, when speculation surrounding Gravenberch's future was rife.
With James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita, and Arthur Melo all departing the club this summer, further midfield reinforcements are a necessity for Klopp and co after Alexis Mac Allister completed a £35 million move from Brighton.
