Ryan Gravenberch draws criticism from Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman after REJECTING international call-up to stay with Liverpool: 'We are not happy'

Ronald Koeman has led the criticism aimed at Ryan Gravenberch after the new Liverpool midfielder rejected his latest international call-up.

Gravenberch had been named in the Netherlands U21 side for the upcoming international break for their games against Moldova and North Macedonia in Euro U21 qualifying, but rejected the call in order to focus on Liverpool.

He has just joined the Reds in a £35million move from Bayern Munich on transfer deadline day last week, and told the Dutch FA that he wanted to prioritise adapting to his new club during the Premier League's two-week hiatus and therefore made himself unavailable for selection.
