Ryan Gravenberch discusses Bayern Munich future amid Liverpool interest

Ryan Gravenberch has revealed he expects to be at Bayern Munich for the 2023/24 season despite interest from the Premier League.

The midfielder made the move from Ajax to the Allianz Arena last summer for a fee that could rise to €23m. Gravenberch was also the subject of interest from Manchester United, who are managed by his former manager from his time in Amsterdam, Erik ten Hag.

But the 21-year-old struggled for regular minutes in his first season in Bavaria, making just three starts in the Bundesliga.

90min reported back in April that Gravenberch was unhappy with his situation at Bayern and had asked the club to consider letting him go if offers of first-team Football came in.

Liverpool are interested in signing Gravenberch and view him as a viable alternative to long-term target Jude Bellingham, who instead chose to sign for Real Madrid this summer.

But speaking to Algemeen Dagblad, Gravenberch seemed resigned to staying at Bayern and insisted he now wants to make the move work.

"I assume that I will still play at Bayern next season. That's really how I feel about it. I am with a top three club in the world. I think that's beautiful and special. I'm not giving up easily. My goal is still to succeed at Bayern," he said.

"I have become more masculine and I think there is even more scope for that. It is incredible to see how players literally give everything here. Certainly other teams when they play against Bayern, as I was used to at Ajax. Players make much more ground here than in the Eredivisie."

Gravenberch is currently on duty with Netherlands at the European Under-21 Championship.

Bayern, meanwhile, are interested in adding Harry Kane to their ranks this summer, though Tottenham have denied reports that they have received a bid for the striker.

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...
