Ajax v SC Heerenveen - Dutch EredivisiePhoto by Soccrates/Getty ImagesIn addition to Noussair Mazraoui, it seems like Ryan Gravenberch is also coming from Ajax Amsterdam to Bayern Munich this summer.In the heat of the moment, sometimes words can slip up. Emotions run high in moments of triumph, and they certainly ran high last week as Ajax celebrated winning the Eredivisie title. Emotions ran so high that Ryan Gravenberch’s teammate might have said some things he shouldn’t have said.There has been no official news of Gravenberch joining Bayern Munich, however, there have been discussions between the Dutch midfielder and the Bavarian club. Ajax’s Kenneth Taylor is the first person to make comments on the transfer as a video circulated around Twitter of Taylor congratulating Gravenberch on his move to Bayern.Ho Gravenberch official @FCBayern #ajax #BayernMunich #gravenberch pic.twitter.com/uuYMuMvwdK— Sven XXXVI (@Svenn020) May 11, 2022“Unfortunately he will leave us, but he deserves it. We wish you the best of luck at Bayern Munich,” said Taylor as he slipped up the big news [TZ]. Although this is by no means an official announcement, it certainly could have strong hints towards where Gravenberch might be playing next season. Only time will tell.

@FCBayernEN: RT @kerry_hau: Ten Hag wollte #Gravenberch mit nach Manchester nehmen, sagte aber schon am Rande unseres Treffens Ende März zu uns, dass alles auf den #FCBayern hinauslaufe. Es war ein monatelanges Projekt, v.a. von Salihamidzic und Neppe. Der Spieler gab frühzeitig sein Wort – und hielt es. https://ift.tt/RMAF4Es

Italy - GermanyPhoto by Berney Ardov/picture alliance via Getty ImagesThe youngster reportedly wants playing time, but will he leave Bayern Munich to get it?What a day for Bayern Munich youngster Paul Wanner.Earlier, Bild (as captured by @iMiaSanMia) reported that Wanner was going to seek an exit from the club in hopes of getting a loan where he would be able to play more:Paul Wanner wants to get more game time this season and develop as a regular starter at another club in order to recommend himself to FC Bayern. A loan move for at least one season is currently being discussed.Wanner was very close to joining Wolfsburg at the end of 2021. He had visited their training facilities & had an agreement in principle to join them. In the end, Wanner ended up extending his Bayern contract. A loan to Wolfsburg this summer could be an interesting option.Frank Linkesch, a reporter for kicker, however, issued a completely different story stating that Wanner was not going anywhere:Gerüchte um eine Ausleihe von Paul #Wanner entbehren jeder Grundlage. Er wird diese Saison beim #FCBayern bleiben und gehört neben #Musiala und #Gravenberch zu den jungen Spielern, die #Nagelsmann fördern soll. Diesen Auftrag hat der Trainer von den Bossen bekommen. #MiaSanMia— Frank Linkesch (@FrankLinkesch) July 7, 2022Rumors of a loan from Paul #Wanner are unfounded. He will stay with #FCBayern this season and, along with #Musiala and #Gravenberch, is one of the young players that #Nagelsmann will encourage. The trainer received this order from the bosses. #MiaSanMiaThis is not the first time there were rumors of Wanner being uncertain or even a bit unhappy with where he stands with the club. Whatever the case, the youngster is certainly full of talent — and will want to get some playing time soon enough.With Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, Marcel Sabitzer, Ryan Gravenberch, and maybe even Jamal Musiala involved in the mix within the central midfield, getting playing time will not be easy. In addition, Bayern Munich is seriously courting RB Leipzig midfielder Konrad Laimer as well, which could further complicate matters.

RB Leipzig v Liverpool FC - Pre-Season Test MatchPhoto by Alexander Hassenstein/Getty ImagesThe crystal ball still seems cloudy on these ideas.According to just about everyone, Bayern Munich will be adding RB Leipzig ball-winner Konrad Laimer to its midfield group next season, but the center of the park is not the only place where the Bavarians might use the 25-year-old.Say what?That’s correct — at least per Sky’s Florian Plettenberg. In fact, the respected journalist indicated that Bayern Munich could use Laimer as a “flexible right-wing.”Say what again?Meanwhile Marcel Sabitzer’s future is uncertain and disgruntled Dutchman Ryan Gravenberch won’t be sold — he is expected to become a starter within two years.Got all of that? If not, get it straight from the horse’s mouth:News #Gravenberch: He is NOT for sale! Within the club he is seen as a future player. He should become a regular starter in the next 2 years. The future of Sabitzer is uncertain. Laimer should play central and as a flexible right winger. @SkySportDE pic.twitter.com/EYppt9JZ6M— Florian Plettenberg (@Plettigoal) November 29, 2022When the Laimer news became unofficially official, many theorized that Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann could be eyeing a shift to a 4-3-3, which would better make use of a suddenly crowded midfield (Laimer, Gravenberch, Sabitzer, Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka).Initially, Gravenberch was considered more of a candidate to become a No. 8 or a No. 6, but Bayern Munich’s coaching staff has strayed from that vision given some of the youngster’s defensive deficiencies. Now, Gravenberch could even become a No. 10 — a position currently overflowing with talent at Säbener Straße.Moreover, it appears that “Mad Scientist” Nagelsmann might be headed back into the lab to create another “Frankenstein” formation to make this all work.If you are one of those wondering about how all of these players might fit (whether the formation is a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-3), don’t even start to go down the road of where Thomas Müller might fall into these plans.You might not like where your mind wanders.

Holland U21 v Georgia U21 -EURO U21 Photo by Eric Verhoeven/Soccrates/Getty Images Bayern Munich could sell Ryan Gravenberch this summer. According to Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg, Liverpool FC has exited the race to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch. Rumored to be interested in the disgruntled Dutchman for months now, Liverpool has moved on to another target per Plettenberg. However, Bayern Munich could still be willing to sell off the 21-year-old this summer: News #Gravenberch: Liverpool is definitely OUT of the race! But talks between the club and the players management took place. ➡️ Instead, Romeo Lavia one of the priorities for #LFC! Important to say: Gravenberch is not unsaleable for Bayern! Aside of Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal FC, and AC Milan have all been rumored to have interest in Gravenberch, but no concrete offers have emerged. Gravenberch status at Bayern Munich slips further into doubt with each passing day it seems. Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, and Konrad Laimer appear to be the three primary options for Thomas Tuchel, while Raphael Guerreiro and Jamal Musiala are other options, who could be called upon. It seems as if Gravenberch might have trouble getting the playing time he desires at Bayern Munich even this season. If that is the case, the Dutchman could push for an exit by the end of the summer transfer window.

Training Holland U21 -U21 Men Photo by Eric Verhoeven/Soccrates/Getty Images Does Ryan Gravenberch want to leave Bayern Munich for Italy? According to a report from Italian journalist Rudy Galetti, Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch is drawing serious interest from Italy.Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Napoli are all reportedly very interested in the Dutchman, who has been unhappy with his role in Bavaria. Interestingly, though, Gravenberch would like to move to England rather than Italy.

Liverpool FC and Manchester United are both rumored to interest in Gravenberch.

Liverpool FC v Bayern Muenchen - Pre-Season Friendly Photo by Apinya Rittipo/Getty Images The Dutchman wants to play. Bayern Munich midfielder has been unhappy about his status on the team for almost a year now and things have not progressed much for the Dutchman.Gravenberch’s No. 4 placement on Bayern Munich’s midfield depth chart has not improved under Thomas Tuchel, but Liverpool FC and Manchester United are very interested in the 21-year-old, anyway. For his part, Gravenberch seems more than open to a move, but for Bayern Munich, the price will have to be right from either Liverpool or Manchester United to get a deal done: ❗️Ryan #Gravenberch: He wants to play regularly. But at the moment he’s the No. 4 in central midfield under #Tuchel!

➡️ Understand that Liverpool & ManUtd will be the favorites for the player should Bayern give the green light to leave. But no verbal agreements yet. #LFC |… pic.twitter.com/YGRjvrSqu9— Florian Plettenberg (@Plettigoal) August 21, 2023Full text of the tweet is available here: ❗️Ryan #Gravenberch: He wants to play regularly. But at the moment he’s the No. 4 in central midfield under #Tuchel! ➡️ Understand that Liverpool & ManUtd will be the favorites for the player should Bayern give the green light to leave. But no verbal agreements yet. #LFC | #MUFCℹ️ Bayern bosses do not exclude that something can still happen with Gravenberch - until Deadline Day. Gravenberch’s desire for playing time might only be satisfied with a move, but the Bavarians do not seem inclined to sell the Dutchman for less than the €18.5 million fee that they paid to Ajax for the 21-year-old initially.

FC Bayern München v FC Augsburg - Bundesliga Photo by Daniel Kopatsch/Getty Images Things are progressing for Liverpool. According to a report from Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg, Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch did not attend the team’s practice session today as a move to Liverpool FC could be imminent. Gravenberch has drawn interest from both Liverpool and Manchester United, but things have spiked with Jürgen Klopp’s club in recent days. Now, it appears as a move could happen, though it is unclear if it will be a transfer or loan. Both are possible, but a straight transfer seems far more likely at this stage: ❗️Ryan #Gravenberch is still waiting for the light to leave FC Bayern today. He’s not in team training as reported - and ready to join Liverpool! #LFCBut no total agreements yet. Negotiations ongoing. Sport Bild’s Christian Falk and Tobi Altschäffl also said things we “close” to getting done (as captured by @iMiaSanMia): Ryan Gravenberch is close to joining Liverpool. The Dutchman is still at Säbener Straße, but has not trained with the team today. Negotiations between clubs ongoing.Finally, Fabrizio Romano issued his own account of where things stand: Understand Liverpool have confirmed to Bayern they’ve official bid ready to be submitted for Ryan Gravenberch #LFC

Clubs in contact since Monday, formal process will start once Bayern will give green light as they need replacement.

Gravenberch wants Liverpool move. pic.twitter.com/5vemH9Y7so— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 31, 2023Gravenberch’s desire to leave Bayern Munich is driven by a lack of opportunity. Should his field time increase he will likely be happy. If not, however, the Dutchman might be left wondering where he should head off to next soon enough.

FC Bayern München v FC Augsburg - Bundesliga Photo by Tom Kieslich/FC Bayern via Getty Images At the “here we go” stage already, try to keep up... Bayern Munich has agreed terms to sell midfielder Ryan Gravenberch to Liverpool FC for €40m + €5m add-ons, per multiple reports.Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg broke the exclusive, with a nod to Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen for the deadline day effort:❗️Excl. DONE DEAL! Ryan #Gravenberch will join @LFC! ➡️ €45m all-in➡️ Contract until 2028➡️ He will fly to Liverpool tonight. #LFCDeal was made by Team Raiola and Jose Fortes Rodrigues together with CEO Dreesen. It’s completed. Transfers journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the structure of the deal was €40m upfront, plus €5m in add-ons.The move comes at the close of the transfer window, just one summer after Gravenberch arrived in Munich from Ajax. The 21-year-old Dutch international is highly regarded for his potential, but never found his footing under successive managers Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Tuchel.The Bavarians are now looking to re-shape their midfield — exchanging Gravenberch, an attacking profile in favor of a more defensive one, reported at this stage to be Fulham’s João Palhinha. At Bayern, the midfield ranks are crowded, boasting the likes of Jamal Musiala and Thomas Müller in the front line as well as Leon Goretzka and Konrad Laimer further behind.Gravenberch will now join Jürgen Klopp’s midfield remake instead, and will net Bayern a profit. The Dutchman arrived for €18m + add-ons last summer.
