Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has explained why the Bavarians decided to sell Ryan Gravenberch to Liverpool on deadline day.
The Netherlands international joined the Reds in a deal worth up to £40m, despite the German giants seeing their move to sign Joao Palhinha from Fulham fall through
Bayern had spent most the summer insisting that Gravenberch was not for sale. But in the end, the Reds’ patience paid off.
Following the departure of the Dutchman, who ultimately found game-time hard to come by in his solitary season in Munich, Dreesen has sent a message to Gravenberch and explained to Bayern fans why he is moving on
Dreesen:
"We’d like to give our heartfelt thanks to Ryan Gravenberch for the successful work together,” he told the club’s official website. “A team consists of more than just the starting XI, and Ryan played an important part in our title win
"He came to us with the desire for more consistent playing time, so we decided on this transfer together with him. We wish him all the best for his future at Liverpool.”
