Bayern Munich appear to have inadvertently given Chelsea the opportunity to hijack Arsenal's plan to sign Ryan Gravenberch. The 21-year-old midfielder faces an increasingly uncertain future at the Allianz Arena after struggling to nail down a place in the starting lineup this season.
Gravenberch's impressive performances for Ajax last term earned him a move to Bayern in the summer, but he's not been given the opportunity to fulfil his lofty potential. The Netherlands international has featured 22 times for Thomas Tuchel's side in the Bundesliga – of which he's started just two.
According to German publication Sport1, the Bavarians will pursue a move for Mateo Kovacic if Gravenberch leaves in the summer. football.london understands that the Blues are prepared to let the Croatia international leave, with Bayern said to be the front runners for his signature.
