"We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Ryan Gravenberch for the successful work we have done together. A team is not just about the starting line-up, and Ryan played an important role in our title win.

He approached us and expressed his desire to get more consistent playing time, so we decided to make this transfer together with him. We wish him all the best at Liverpool," Dresen was quoted as saying on Bayern's official website.

It will be recalled that on the last day of the transfer window, Liverpool acquired Ryan Gravenbergh for €40 million.
