June 13, (THEWILL) – Ryan Gravenberch, an Ajax midfielder, has signed a five-year contract with Bundesliga Bavarian giants Bayern Munich.
The 20-year-old has had a stratospheric rise in Amsterdam, swiftly establishing himself as a significant player both at club level and for the Netherlands. Bayern moved quickly to obtain Gravenberch’s talents last month and have now confirmed his arrival on their website.
Speaking of his decision, Gravenberch said: “When the offer came from FC Bayern, I didn’t have to think about it for long. FC Bayern are one of the biggest clubs around; players from all over the world want to play for this club.
“I’m coming to Munich to win lots of titles – and FC Bayern are used to winning lots of titles. Anything is possible with this club, including winning the Champions League. The togetherness in this team is very strong, which I like.”
Hasan Salihamidzic, Bayern’s Sporting Director added: “Ryan Gravenberch will offer a lot to our team. He’s one of the biggest talents in Europe, has superb technical ability, always finds solutions in tight spaces, is very dynamic and a goal threat.
“The fact he’s chosen FC Bayern shows that he’s convinced by us as a club and the opportunities here. We love players with that mentality. We’re confident that we’ll enjoy lots of success with him.”
