Man Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool transfer blow as Bayern Munich star reveals he wants to STAY at German giants
MANCHESTER UNITED, Arsenal and Liverpool have suffered a blow after Ryan Gravenberch revealed he wanted to stay at Bayern Munich.
The Dutch midfielder had been linked with several Premier League clubs after a difficult debut season in Germany.
After completing a £16million move to Bayern from Ajax last summer, Gravenberch scored once in 33 appearances across all competitions.
However, he was limited to just three league starts as he failed to establish himself under both Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Tuchel.
Despite his underwhelming debut season, though, Gravenberch is determined to stay and fight for his place.
He told Algemeen Dagblad: “I assume I will still play here next season.
“That’s really how I feel. I’m at a top three club in the world. I find that beautiful and special. I won’t give that up just like that. My goal is still to succeed at Bayern.”
The 21-year-old had previously claimed he wanted to “play weekly again”, fuelling rumours of a move.
He also added that the role he had at Bayern last term “does not match my expectations”.
Gravenberch has been linked with Liverpool, Arsenal and United this summer.
