Ryan Gravenberch is said to be a Tottenham Hotspur target in 2022.
Calciomercato reported that Spurs were interested in signing the Ajax midfielder at some point during the calendar year.
However, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano might have a negative update for Tottenham in this respect.
At 19, Gravenberch is one of the most exciting young midfielders in Europe right now and a certain Jaap Stam labelled him ‘remarkable’ only last week.
With Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg a little bit erratic under Antonio Conte, and Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso both having little future in North London under the Italian, the Lilywhites are probably going to be signing midfielders this summer.
But if Romano is right, Gravenberch has bigger suitors.
According to Romano, the young box-to-box star would favour a transfer to Bayern Munich.
Here’s what he posted on Twitter:
Hard sell
Tottenham’s interest isn’t dead just because Bayern are involved.
However, the idea that the player himself is keen to join the German outfit is, unfortunately, a bad sign.
Considering Spurs might not even be in the Champions League come next season, there is little reason to punt for the Premier League outfit if elite European sides like Bayern are genuinely interested.
Antonio Conte’s side is a hard sell, if we’re honest.
You get the feeling that if Tottenham stood any chance, it had to be in January.
