Ryan Gravenberch has asked to leave Bayern Munich this week following interest from Manchester United and Liverpool, according to reports in Germany.<\/p>\n
Manchester United news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old joined Bayern last year in a \u20ac18.5 million (\u00a316m) deal from\u00a0Ajax\u00a0but was unable to secure a regular role in his first season in Germany.<\/p>\n
Both United and Liverpool are looking to strengthen their midfield options before Friday\u2019s transfer deadline and have held talks with Gravenberch\u2019s representatives.<\/p>\n
According to Sport1, Gravenberch\u2019s management team have told Bayern that the midfielder wants to leave the club before the transfer window closes.<\/p>\n
The report claims that Bayern have not received a concrete offer for the Netherlands international but the Bundesliga champions are now open to a deal having previously ruled out a move earlier this summer.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Liverpool remain in the market for a new central midfielder and have held extensive talks with Gravenberch\u2019s representatives over the last few months.<\/p>\n
However, Jurgen Klopp will face strong competition from Manchester United, who could hold a key advantage as Erik ten Hag has already worked with the midfielder at Ajax.<\/p>\n
Bayern are also exploring the possibility of signing Scott McTominay, which could open the door for Gravenberch to move in the opposite direction to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
Speaking in June, Gravenberch made it clear that he would look to leave Bayern if he did not receive more playing opportunities.<\/p>\n
\u2018I expected to play more minutes than I did. I thought I would get some more chances,\u2019 Gravenberch told ESPN.<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s about just wanting to play, that\u2019s the most important thing at my age.<\/p>\n
\u2018I hope this can happen at Bayern Munich, otherwise we\u2019ll just have to look further.<\/p>\n
\u2018I told everyone that I don\u2019t want another year like that. Of course you can\u2019t always be in the starting XI, but you can still play regularly, you can get a lot of minutes.\u2019<\/p>\n
