Bayern Munich<\/a> are interested in signing Ajax midfielder Ryan Gravenberch this summer. Ajax are willing to sell the Dutch talent for \u00a330 million as he enters the final year of his contract.<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich Want Ryan Gravenberch Signature<\/h2>\n

Youngster is a Hot Prospect<\/h3>\n

According to Fabrizio Romano<\/a>, Oliver Kahn met with Gravenberch\u2019s agent Mino Riola in Monaco to discuss a deal for the 19-year-old.<\/p>\n

Bayern are reluctant to pay the \u00a330 million that Ajax want and will aim to drive the price down.<\/p>\n

The German side are keen to strengthen their midfield, with Joshua Kimmich<\/a> being the only player to consistently hold his position in the middle of the park.<\/p>\n

Who is Ryan Gravenberch?<\/h3>\n

Ryan Gravenberch is a 19-year-old Dutch midfielder. Gravenberch came through the famous Ajax academy and has made 95 appearances for the first team since making his debut in 2018.<\/p>\n

Gravenberch made his international debut for the Netherlands in March 2021.<\/p>\n

The midfielder is regarded as a top talent in Europe and has been on the radar of clubs such as Real Madrid<\/a>, Manchester City<\/a> and Manchester United<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It has been rumoured that Gravenberch is prepared to move on from Ajax, but he will only leave if the club can receive a transfer fee for him.<\/p>\n

Last year, the midfielder told Dutch news outlet Algemeen Dagblad<\/a>: \u201cIt is up to my agent and my father, I don\u2019t know whether I will leave Ajax next summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I know for sure is that I will not leave if Ajax are not earning anything from me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have played here all my career. Ajax have been good to me and I owe a lot to the club.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen I cannot just leave on a free transfer. That will not happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the transfer speculation, Gravenberch knows that there is no rush for him to leave the Dutch giants.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not bad to step out of your comfort zone. A different competition, different life and different people around you.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut that can also be done at 22, for example.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ajax Rebuild May Be Needed<\/h3>\n

As the summer looms, Ajax may need a major rebuild. Manager Erik ten Hag<\/a> is being heavily linked to Manchester United and it is likely some players may follow his suit and will leave the club.<\/p>\n

However, the team will look forward to finishing the season strongly though as they look focused to win both domestic titles as well as having a strong season in the UEFA Champions League.<\/p>\n
