Liverpool midfielder **Ryan Gravenberch** has spoken out for the first time following speculation about a potential summer move to **Real Madrid**, sparked by eye-catching comments from his agent, **Jose Fortes Rodriguez**.
In an interview with *Marca*, Rodriguez claimed that the Dutch international dreams of playing for the Spanish giants, stating, “He’s good enough for Real Madrid. We’d love to see him there, but Liverpool would demand a hefty fee. I know Madrid have shown interest, but for now, it’s not possible.”
The remarks caused a stir among Liverpool fans, especially as the club appears to be focusing on the future with stars like **Mohamed Salah** and **Virgil van Dijk** nearing new deals.
Addressing the speculation, **Gravenberch** said during a press conference:
“Being linked with a club like Real Madrid is always flattering — they’re one of the biggest clubs in the world. But my focus is completely on Liverpool. I’m happy here, and we’re building something special.”
Since joining Liverpool from **Bayern Munich** in 2023, Gravenberch has become a key figure under **Arne Slot**, starting all 31 of Liverpool’s Premier League matches this season and playing a major role in their current 11-point lead at the top.
His agent also revealed that **Barcelona** once tried to sign him when he was 16, but he and his family chose **Ajax** for his development.
With **81 appearances**, four goals, and five assists for Liverpool, Gravenberch is clearly drawing attention in Spain — but for now, his commitment appears to be firmly with the Reds.
