“I definitely hoped and expected that I would play more at Bayern Munich. So far it hasn’t worked out as expected,” Ryan Gravenberch told the portal.Ajax Showtime‘ at the beginning of the week. The Dutch midfielder didn’t rule out a departure next summer. Meanwhile, there seems to be interest from other top clubs. According to one “Picture”report, Liverpool FC has taken the first steps to implement a transfer.
Accordingly, the Reds contacted Team Raiola, Gravenberch’s management, this week to discuss a possible change. The newspaper did not provide any information about the outcome or how concrete it was in the talks.

It is doubtful that the future belongs to the Dutchman in Munich’s central midfield, given only four appearances in the starting XI this season. If there is no prospect of more playing time in the summer, the pro himself would be open to a change: “Ideally, I would like to be successful at Bayern. But if that doesn’t work out and I don’t get any chances, then maybe I should look elsewhere.”
