Ryan Gravenberch urges Bayern Munich to sanction potential summer exit

Ryan Gravenberch has asked Bayern Munich to soften their stance on a potential summer exit, urging the club to listen to any offers which may arrive, 90min understands.

The midfielder has been a bit-part figure at the Allianz Arena since signing from Ajax last summer, barely featuring under both Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Tuchel.

Despite dropping down the pecking order, sources have told 90min that Bayern have informed Gravenberch that they do not intend to let him leave as things stand.

However, the 20-year-old has in turn demanded that the club at least consider allowing him to pursue a new opportunity following a subpar debut year in Bavaria.

Liverpool have been scouring for alternatives to Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham after withdrawing from the race to sign him this summer.

They are pushing hard to sign Gravenberch either on loan or for a permanent deal which could see Bayern double their money on him - the German champions paid Ajax an initial €18m last summer, with a further €5m in add-ons yet to be paid.

The Reds have not been dissuaded by Bayern's current stance as they believe Gravenberch is determined to seek an exit, particularly with Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka currently preferred to him on top of Konrad Laimer joining from RB Leipzig this summer.

Arsenal and Manchester United are also keeping an eye on the situation, but his most likely destination at this point appears to be Anfield.

Russell Westbrook signs with Clippers: Former MVP lands back in L.A. after Lakers trade, per report

Former NBA MVP Russell Westbrook plans to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers once he finalizes a buyout with the Utah Jazz, his agent told Adrian Wojnarowski. Westbrook was trade d from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Jazz as part of a three-team deal ahead of the trade deadline earlier this month. In 52 games for the Lakers this season, the majority of them off the bench, Westbrook averaged 15.9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game. But while his counting stats were still solid, his defense, inefficient shooting (41.7 percent from the field, 29.6 percent from 3-point land) and poor fit next to LeBron James and Anthony Davis were once again a problem for the Lakers. There was also the fact that James was publicly lobbying for the team to trade him, which did not help the vibes in the locker room.  But despite some of Westbrook's issues with the Lakers, and his declining play in recent years, the Clipp...

Bruno Fernandes names Portugal teammate he wants Man Utd to sign

Image
Bruno Fernandes has encouraged Manchester United to act on their interest in Benfica midfielder Joao Neves. United have regularly scouted the 19-year-old and were in attendance as he shone in Benfica's recent 2-1 win over Sporting CP, watching the teenager alongside scouts from both Arsenal and Liverpool. Neves' excellent form this season has seen him rewarded with two caps for the Portugal national team. The youngster came off the bench for the final five minutes of October's 5-0 win over Bosnia & Herzegovina and saw another three minutes against Liechtenstein on Thursday. Asked about United's interest in Neves, Fernandes admitted he'd be keen to see the teenager join him at Old Trafford but only if manager Erik ten Hag sees a future for him. "It has to be the Manchester United coach who says whether he has a place in the team or not," Fernandes told a press conference. "He's a great player, I don't know if he would have a place or not. I...
