Manchester City are said to be interested in acquiring Ajax midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, who has previously been linked with Liverpool and Tottenham.
Pep Guardiola’s interest in the Dutch international is’serious,’ according to Mundo Deportivo, with FC Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund also interested in the Ajax superstar.
Gravenberch, who is just 19 years old, has already played 78 games for Ajax and has been capped 10 times by the Dutch national team.
Gravenberch is being pursued by a number of English clubs, including Manchester United. According to Soccer News, the Reds considered a €30 million (£25 million) bid for Gravenberch in the summer, with CalcioMercato stating that Fabio Paratici wants him at Tottenham.
The midfielder is attracting a lot of interest, and with all three Premier League teams making compelling arguments for him to join, it will be a fascinating struggle to see unfold in the coming months.
With club chief executive Edwin van der Sar comparing the midfielder to Manchester United’s Paul Pogba, it’s no surprise that Gravenberch is generating so much buzz and intrigue, with City showing an interest in the teenager.
Only Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham can claim to be a more complete midfielder at such a young age in this era of football, which is why Gravenberch is such an intriguing possibility for City, Liverpool, and Tottenham.
In both Europe and the Netherlands, the youngster has starred for Ajax. With Gravenberch enjoying another excellent season, there’s a good possibility he’ll be on the move this summer, with the Premier League being the most likely destination.
