Former Germany international Torsten Frings has slammed Bayern Munich for selling Ryan Gravenberch, who joined Liverpool this summer.
Speaking to Sport1, the pundit criticised his former club over the sale of the Dutch youth international, with Gravenberch joining Liverpool from Bayerh in a £40m deal on deadline day.
Frings said: “It is incomprehensible to many that such a young talent, for whom they paid a lot of money, goes to Liverpool for an unbelievable amount of money.”
Gravenberch is regarded by many as one of the best midfield talents in all of Europe, yet for one reason or another, Thomas Tuchel was not a fan of the former Ajax wonderkid.
At Liverpool, though, early signs suggest that Jurgen Klopp intends to use Gravenberch, with the midfielder impressing last week on his full debut in the UEFA Europa League against LASK.
And Bayern could soon regret selling Gravenberch after just one season, with Frings setting the tempo early over how the Bundesliga side handled the 21-year-old’s role at the club.
Liverpool will make Bayern regret selling Gravenberch
Praised by Goal as a ‘special’ talent, Gravenberch has the potential to become one of the best midfielders in the world, and Liverpool can get the youngster to a world-class level.
Bayern failed to adapt to Gravenberch’s skillset, and whilst Klopp is yet to find an ideal system for the Dutchman, it is only a matter of time before a breakthrough is made.
As a result, Bayern could soon regret selling Gravenberch, with the midfielder primed to become a superstar for Liverpool in the years to come.
