FC Bayern have signed Ryan Gravenberch and made the transfer of the 20-year-old midfielder from Ajax official.
Munich – Ryan Gravenberch's move from Ajax Amsterdam to FC Bayern is now finally fixed!
The record champions officially presented the 20-year-old midfielder on Monday afternoon.
Before that, however, something odd had happened.
The transfer of the youngster had actually been certain for weeks, now the confirmation of the clubs was missing.
On Monday afternoon, Gravenberch's father had already pushed ahead and posted pictures of Ryan signing the contract on Instagram.

It was not initially known which jersey number the youngster would receive from record champions from Munich.
He wore the 8 at Ajax, but Leon Goretzka wears it at FCB.
Gravenberch's contract would have expired in 2023, which is why FC Bayern has now struck.
He is set to fill the gap of Corentin Tolisso, who will leave the club on June 30 on a free transfer.
Gravenberch has made ten appearances for the Dutch national team, scoring one goal.
