Ryan Gravenberch has secured his long-term future at Liverpool by signing a six-year contract extension that reportedly includes an "impressive" new wage package worth more than twice his previous earnings.
Gravenberch was instrumental in Liverpool's championship triumph under Arne Slot last season, featuring in all but one league match as they cruised to the title.
The Dutch midfielder initially found it challenging to establish himself under Jürgen Klopp following his $45.6 million (£34 million) transfer from Bayern Munich, but his transformation into a defensive midfielder became the catalyst for Gravenberch's success at Anfield.
Like many others, he has experienced a decline during a disappointing title defense campaign, yet Liverpool have demonstrated their belief that their No. 38 is essential to their future ambitions. Gravenberch's existing contract was set to run until 2028, and the club was eager to prevent another drawn-out negotiation process, considering their recent experiences with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté over the last 18 months.
It will be fascinating to observe how Liverpool's midfield develops in 2026, particularly if a new head coach arrives this summer. Alexis Mac Allister has been loosely connected with a potential move to Real Madrid, and teams will certainly be making inquiries about Dominik Szoboszlai if the Reds miss out on Champions League qualification for next season.
Nonetheless, securing their versatile all-around midfielder represents a significant achievement, and Liverpool were determined to compensate Gravenberch substantially.

According to Dutch publication De Telegraaf, Gravenberch has signed a new deal valued at $116.2 million (€100 million, £86.7 million) over the next six years, equating to $19.3 million (€16.6 million, £14.4 million) annually.
This translates to approximately $372,000 (€320,000, £277,500) weekly, meaning he has nearly doubled his earnings from his previous agreement.
According to other widely circulated figures, Gravenberch now ranks as Liverpool's fourth-highest paid player.
Salah's extended contract discussions resulted in a new deal believed to be valued around $640,000 (£480,000) per week, as reported by The Telegraph.

Liverpool Rank | Player | Reported Weekly Salary |
|---|---|---|
1. | Mohamed Salah | $640,000 (£480,000) |
2. | Virgil van Dijk | $540,000 (£400,000) |
3. | Alexander Isak | $400,000 (£300,000) |
4. | Ryan Gravenberch | $372,000 (£277,500) |
Van Dijk underwent the same contract renewal process as Salah and became the world's highest-paid defender, earning approximately $540,000 (£400,000) weekly, according to The Athletic. Record acquisition Alexander Isak eventually signed a contract worth $400,000 (£300,000) per week at Liverpool—significantly exceeding what Newcastle United were prepared to offer to make him the Magpies' highest-ever earner, per The Times.
The "substantial contract" awarded to Gravenberch has reportedly elevated him above players like Andy Robertson, Hugo Ekitiké and Florian Wirtz in Liverpool's wage structure.
Gravenberch's lucrative new agreement doesn't quite match the terms of the league's top earners. Erling Haaland tops the list with nearly double what his competitor receives.
