Liverpool have signed midfielder Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich in a deal worth about £34.3m (40m euros).
The 21-year-old Netherlands international has joined the Reds on a five-year contract.
Gravenberch has left Bayern having only signed for the club from Ajax last year for an initial £15.8m (18.5m euros).
“I’m very happy that the deal is done and I’m finally here. It’s one of the biggest clubs in the world,” Gravenberch told Liverpool’s website.
“Now we start fresh again, a new start, and I’m going to give my all for this club. [My ambitions are] to win prizes. To win prizes, play a lot and show them who we are and who I am.”
Gravenberch, who has taken the number 38 shirt, is a player Liverpool have tracked for several seasons and the Reds see him as someone who can play in a number of different roles and systems in midfield.
He joins fellow midfielders Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo in being signed by Liverpool this summer.
The Anfield side have been conducting a refresh of their midfield with the departures James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on free transfers being followed by Jordan Henderson and Fabinho leaving the club to go to Saudi Arabian sides.
