Liverpool's Ryan Gravenberch has opened up about how his move to the Reds saved him from "going crazy."

The 23-year-old Dutch international confessed that he was on the brink of a mental breakdown after his dream transfer to Bayern Munich turned sour under the management of Julian Nagelsmann.

Gravenberch's father is of the opinion that his son was nearing depression before a $43 million switch to Anfield two years ago pulled him back from the edge.

Last season, under Arne Slot, the midfielder had an outstanding campaign as Liverpool clinched the Premier League title.

"I remember how I felt at Bayern, but I know I have managed to climb out of that low

A lot was said about him, but people forgot this was a young lad of 21.

"The whole Bayern Munich adventure never worked out like he expected

He was working really hard, but he was never given a chance to shine.

"At that time, we could not dream that he would get a transfer to Liverpool and that Arne Slot would become his coach

When I look at what has happened to him with Slot and Liverpool I have to say in all honesty that he has gone from hell to heaven!"
