Liverpool transfer news roundup: Gravenberch latest, Hincapie like, Phillips enquiry

It's now now t-minus nine days until deadline day and Liverpool are still in the market for at least one more signing. Excited or terrified? Here are your Liverpool transfer rumours this Tuesday...

Let's start with Ryan Gravenberch, shall we? The £20m-rated Dutch midfielder is set for 'showdown talks' with Bayern Munich, according to the Mirror.

The Daily Mail say there have already been 'productive talks' between Liverpool and the German champions over Gravenberch. James Pearce, The Athletic, writes that Liverpool will not sign another specialist 'number six' this window but are looking for a multi-functional midfielder (Gravenberch?) to complement the existing squad.

And 90min claim that both Liverpool and Bayern Munich are interested in little-seen Man City midfielder Kalvin Phillips, and the Reds have made an enquiry. So who knows if the defensive midfielder search is really over yet?

One player seemingly not set for Anfield is Soyfan Amrabat. Fabrizio Romano claims the Reds turned down the chance to sign the Moroccan in order to land Wataru Endo.

Moving on from midfielders, Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie has admirers at Liverpool, according to Fussball Transfers.

The €45m-rated, left-sided Ecuadorian defender has 'liked' a post from LFC's official Twitter account. Read into that what you will... but be aware it's almost certainly nothing.
