Bayern Munich will sign Gravenberch. It's all but a done deal, especially since the player Kenneth Taylor unintentionally revealed it at Ajax's title celebrations.

Bayern Munich's first signing is already known, although it is not official. It is Ryan Gravenberch, for whom the German club would pay up to 30 million euros.

At Ajax's title celebration, footballer Kenneth Taylor accidentally said on 'Ajax TV' what nobody could know yet beyond rumours.

Elated, Kenneth Taylor said that "unfortunately" his team mate Gravenberch "will be leaving us" and went on to say that "he deserves it".

"He has earned it. We wish him the best of luck at Bayern Munich," he said. When he realised what he had done, they tried to change the subject quickly but it was too late. 

Bayern will sign the 19-year-old midfielder, who has been a key player for Ajax for the past two seasons. He made 48 appearances last season and 41 this season, making him another of the Dutch club's star youth players.
