The offer from sports director Hasan Salihamidzic, CEO Oliver Kahn and technical director Marco Neppe should amount to 25 million euros. The trio traveled to Amsterdam for negotiations after Ajax’s exit from the Champions League to secure the services of one of the ten most valuable teenagers in football.

25 million euros is a sum that is below the market value of the midfielder, but given the short term of the contract until 2023, it seems reasonable. Ajax are reportedly insisting on 35 million euros for their homegrown talent.

“I played here all my youth. Ajax have always been good to me. I have a lot to thank the club for. Then I can’t leave on a free transfer. That won’t happen,” Gravenberch said in February. In 2020 Brian Brobbey (20) left the club for RB Leipzig on a free transfer and André Onana (25) and Noussair Mazraoui (24) will follow in the summer of 2021.
In addition to Bayern, Juventus Turin, among others, is said to have made an offer of the same amount – but Munich would have better cards with the U21 international. At the beginning of February, Kahn confirmed that he had met player advisor Mino Raiola, whose clients include Gravenberch.

Joshua Kimmich (27) and Leon Goretzka (27) are seeded in Bayern’s central midfield, while Marcel Sabitzer (28), Marc Roca (25) and Corentin Tolisso (27) act as backups. The latter could leave the club on a free transfer this summer. Consequently, no hopeless competition for Gravenberch. “I start from my own qualities and if it happens next summer I’m ready for it. But it’s not that far yet,” said the courted teenager.
