Gravenberch ready to force move (TuttoMercatoWeb)
Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch might be dead-set on leaving the club and could be ready to force his way out in hopes of joining Liverpool FC or another club willing to give him more playing time:
Ryan Gravenberch is not satisfied with his first season in Munich. The Dutch midfielder born in 2002, paid 25 million euros last summer, in Bayern’s turbulent season he hardly ever played as a starter and would like to change his sights if he doesn’t receive guarantees for the future.
Göz AtınThe former Ajax is very popular in England. Liverpool and Newcastle have already made proposals, both are ready to shell out around 50 million euros for his transfer. Not only that: Dutch ten Hag’s United is another club that has already expressed concrete interest, even if it hasn’t yet made any proposals. However, Bayern have not set a price for the transfer at this time, thus letting it be known that the player is not for sale.
Gravenberch, however, is dissatisfied with the hierarchies in force in Munich and without guarantees on the continuity of performance is ready to force his hand to leave.
