A summer departure from Ajax seems inevitable for Ryan Gravenberch. “The contract negotiations have now been stopped,” says the 19-year-old midfielder, who still has a contract until mid-2023 in Amsterdam.
“I just have one more year of contract now and that’s it, actually. We’ll see,” says Gravenberch in front of the camera of the NOS† The Ajax player’s contract runs until the summer of 2023. If Ajax still wants to keep an amount from him, they should sell him this summer.
In addition, Bayern Munich would have already made an offer for Gravenberch. The German record champion has deposited a bag with 25 million euros in Amsterdam. Gravenberch does not dare to say whether he is worth it. “I have no idea, I have no idea. But if you’re worth 25 million, you can be proud because it’s a lot of money, of course.”

At the press conference, national coach Louis van Gaal discussed the fact that Gravenberch is again in the selection of the Dutch Juniors. The elector said that Gravenberch had gone through “a very bad period”. “A year and a half ago I was last with the Dutch Juniors”, says Gravenberch. “The fact that I have to be here again now means switching, turning a button. You would rather have been at the first of Orange. In the beginning I had difficulty with that, but now I have turned that button.”
