With the potential departure of veteran midfielder Fernandinho and the uncertainty surrounding the future of Bernardo Silva, Manchester City is keen to inject fresh talent into their midfield ranks. Gravenberch’s ability to dictate play, drive forward with the ball, and contribute to both attacking and defensive phases makes him an ideal candidate for Pep Guardiola’s possession-based style of play.

Real Madrid’s approach for Jude Bellingham has triggered Manchester City’s pursuit of Gravenberch. Bellingham, who has been a revelation for Borussia Dortmund since joining from Birmingham City, possesses immense potential and has attracted interest from several top clubs, including Real Madrid. As a result, Manchester City has identified Gravenberch as a prime alternative to Bellingham.
