Man Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool on red alert as transfer target Ryan Gravenberch issues ultimatum to Bayern Munich chiefs
RYAN GRAVENBERCH looks set for a move away from Bayern Munich this summer – putting a number of Premier League sides on alert.
It comes as the 20-year-old admitted he is growing increasingly frustrated with his lack of game time this season.
The midfielder moved from Ajax last summer for around £21million, including add ons.
Since then he has started just once in the Bundesliga, but has come on as a sub on 18 occasions.
Gravenberch’s frustrations have drawn the attention of a number of Premier League sides, with Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool each closely monitoring the situation.
And his public ultimatum will come as welcome news to the English sides.

The Dutchman told VoetbaI International this week: “Training and playing at the top level for a year is beautiful and instructive. Although playing, it is mainly training.
“That has to change next season, then I really want to play weekly again. I haven’t spoken to the club management yet, so just wait and see what happens.
“But it is clear that this role does not match my expectations.”
With the player’s discontent growing, an escape route could soon be on the cards.
BILD reported that the central midfielder was unable to hide his smile when asked about the rumour of him joining Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp is desperate to revamp his ageing midfield with some new talent.
Liverpool have turned their attention on the midfielder, after dropping out of the transfer race for Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham.
However, a move to Manchester United could also be a real possibility.
Gravenberch played under United boss Erik Ten Hag at Ajax, and was linked with a move to Old Trafford last year.
The starlet was a product of the Ajax youth academy, and played over 30 matches in both title-winning campaigns under Ten Hag.
The situation has also piqued the interest of Arsenal.
Mikel Arteta’s side have been linked to a host of central midfielders.
The club were close to signing Moises Caicedo from Brighton in January, and West Ham’s captain Declan Rice has been targeted.
However, Arsenal are well-stocked in midfield, having handed Mohamed Elneny a new deal and added Jorginho to their ranks in January.
Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka and Martin Odegaard are regular starters, prompting questions about whether Gravenberch might end up facing similar issues in North London.
