Ajax won’t want to sell their latest academy star – being dubbed the ‘new Paul Pogba‘ for his style of play.

But the Eredivisie giants are now bracing themselves for monster bids from some of Europe’s biggest clubs.

Earlier this week, Italian outlet Tuttosport claimed Juventus and Barcelona had registered their interest in Gravenberch.

And now, the Mirror state Man Utd have joined the race, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seemingly keen to add another Ajax midfielder to his ranks.

The Red Devils chief already brought Donny van de Beek to Old Trafford in a £40million deal in the summer.

Struggling with the financial repercussions of the coronavirus pandemic, Ajax could be forced to cash-in for the right price.

Gravenberch is currently valued at around £10m, according to Transfermarkt.

And United could be in pole position to land the hot prospect thanks to Mino Raiola.

Gravenberch is represented by the super-agent, who also has Pogba on his books.

Despite his age, Gravenberch has already played 19 times for Ajax – scoring four goals and adding three assists.

He has also made history at the club by surpassing Clarence Seedorf’s record as the youngest player to appear in the Eredivisie, aged 16 years and 130 days.

Not only have Gravenberch’s dazzling displays earned him rave reviews across Europe, but he was also recently shortlisted for the Golden Boy 2020 award.
