After borrowing Marcel Sabitzer from Bayern Munich in January, MU continued to target the “Gray Lobster” with the next target being Ryan Gravenberch.
Ryan Gravenberch once played prominently in the Ajax shirt. In the summer of 2022, this player signed a 5-year contract with Bayern, ie until June 2027. Gravenberch became the second Ajax player to arrive at the Allianz Arena last summer, after right-back Noussair Mazraoui.
Bayern had to pay Ajax 18.5 million euros in transfer fee to have Gravenberch’s services. This figure can be increased to 24 million euros with other bonuses. Expected a lot in the German team shirt, but this young player has not shown his ability.
Under Julian Nagelsmann, Gravenberch had no chance to play. Thomas Tuchel showed up and sent him on for 27 minutes in three Bundesliga matches. Not being able to play regularly makes the former Ajax star feel disappointed, he has considered leaving to play more.
Liverpool is said to be the first name that wants to have a 20-year-old player. Most recently, MU is negotiating with Bayern Munich about the possibility of borrowing Gravenberch for a season, like the case of Marcel Sabitzer.
Gravenberch grew up under Erik ten Hag at Ajax. Therefore, joining MU has the ability to help the 20-year-old Dutch player overcome difficulties and continue to develop to a higher level. The Red Devils also try to set a clause to buy Gravenberch outright if he plays well for a reasonable fee.
