THE BIGGER PICTURE: The former Ajax midfielder joined the Bundesliga giants this season on a five-year contract, but has had limited game time so far. With Leon Goretzka and Joshua Kimmich in their ranks, Gravenberch has only managed 711 minutes on the pitch thus far.

AND WHAT'S MORE: Bayern are likely looking to make a profit on the Dutchman as they have reportedly set a price of £25m on the player who could leave the club next summer after just one season at the club.
