DBasia.news – Bayern Munchen managed to strengthen their squad after winning the hunt for Ajax Amsterdam wonderkid, Ryan Gravenberch. Ajax’s brilliant performance last season has indeed made their stars targetedd by big European clubs, Gravenberch being one of them
Clubs such as Liverpool, Manchester United, and Juventus were linked with Gravenberch. But in the end, it was Munchen who managed to obtain the services of the 20-year-old player.
The move for Gravenberch has been confirmed directly by Munchen director Hasan Salihamidzic. An official announcement will soon be issued by the German giant.
“Ryan has signed a contract. We have completed the deal and we are thrilled,” Salihamidzic told Bild.
“He’s one of the biggest talents in Europe. All the clubs are after him.”
Gravenberch’s transfer to Munchen has actually been leaked since the end of last May. But until now there has been no official announcement issued by the two clubs.
Munich reportedly had to spend around €25 million to redeem Gravenberch from Ajax. A five-year contract is also prepared to fence him off from other big clubs.
“Bayern Munchen is a big club and I think you have to win big titles here. And that’s what I hoped for too,” said Gravenberch.
