Ryan Gravenberch’s move from Ajax Amsterdam to FC Bayern is not yet a done deal, but the midfielder is still considered a sure signing from Munich. With the 20-year-old Dutchman, a player who lives an extravagant lifestyle is apparently coming to Säbener Straße.
At least Gravenberch is looked after by leisure managers from the Amslux agency. In addition to vacations, they also plan birthday parties, for example, or organize hard-to-find luxury items or sneakers for the players.
“Three years ago we realized that there was a problem in the world of football: The players always go to the same holiday destinations because they don’t have time to look for new destinations,” said Amslux co-founder Emmanuel Ntow.picture“: “We offer the players time, expertise and familiarity. We take care of everything the player asks for. Most recently, we planned a private Curacao vacation for Gravenberch.”
But the football professionals are also granted very special requests, as Ntow emphasizes: “One of the best things we organized was a wedding proposal in South Africa. The craziest thing was a holiday for a group of players, where they each had their own Lamborghini wanted.”
Despite the special treatment, Gravenberch should not have star airs. “When we met him in Amsterdam a few months ago, Ryan was so nice and relaxed. He’s very well behaved. When we speak it’s like a friend, not a client,” Ntow pointed out.
FC Bayern improves the offer for Gravenberch
The move from Gravenberch to FC Bayern is not yet official. As “Telegraaf” reporter Mike Verweij recently reported, the Munich team has improved their offer again.
Accordingly, Munich are now ready to put 18 million euros on the table as a base fee for Gravenberch. Up to five million euros are also possible as bonus payments.
