Bayern Munich are willing to let Ryan Gravenberch leave the club on loan this summer as the Dutchman continues to ponder over his future.

Manchester United and Liverpool have both previously been linked with a move for Gravenberch, although it remains to be seen if either will submit a loan offer to Bayern thanks to their recent transfer activity.

Erik ten Hag has already added Mason Mount to his midfield roster, while Liverpool have signed both Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, while Romeo Lavia remains on their radar.

Both Jordan Henderson and Fabinho could leave Anfield this summer, with Saudi Arabian clubs keen, which could prompt the Reds to dip back into the market.

Moises Caicedo has been linked and FootballTransfers understands that the Ecuadorian midfielder is open to all offers - not just Chelsea - as he looks for a transfer away from Brighton & Hove Albion.

Gravenberch could enter the fray, however, as Bayern are interested in loaning the 21-year-old out following a disappointing first campaign in Germany, according to Kicker.

Gravenberch at Bayern

After selecting to join Bayern on a free transfer last summer, big things were expected of Gravenberch after his rise to fame at Ajax.

But, he managed just three Bundesliga starts all season and the tried-and-trusted partnership of Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka was favoured by first Julian Nagelsmann and then Thomas Tuchel.

Furthermore, the free transfer arrival of Konrad Laimer from RB Leipzig and the return of Marcel Sabizter from his loan spell at Man Utd may push Gravenberch even further down the pecking order. In addition, Raphael Guerreiro has also joined from Borussia Dortmund, and while primarily a left-back, the Portuguese star can also operate in midfield.

In terms of incomings, Bayern are still pursuing a move for Tottenham Hotspur superstar Harry Kane, although they are no closer to agreeing a deal for the England international.

Kyle Walker is close to joining the club from Manchester City, but the Bavarians could lose Benjamin Pavard the other way, with the Frenchman of interest to Pep Guardiola, according to Fabrizio Romano.
