It's the stuff of manager fantasies: a blank check to assemble the world's most exciting young starting XI.
But that is exactly what the new BBC Sounds podcast Wunderkids offers, at least in fantasy form, throughout its 11 episodes. The first three episodes are now available for listening.
The Wunderkids team has selected 11 players in collaboration with BBC Sport, and presenter Steve Crossman will be joined by specialists to debate the latest addition, with one new player unveiled each week.
Gravenberch, who is only 19, has already played 93 times for Ajax and 10 times for the senior Netherlands team, including twice at Euro 2020.
He is a deep-lying central midfielder with a strong engine who contributes with the odd goal, becoming the youngest player to score in a Dutch Cup final since 1981 last season.
In 2018, at the age of 16 years and 130 days, he broke the record set by the famous Clarence Seedorf in 1992 by becoming Ajax's youngest player to appear in the Eredivisie.
Ryan Gravenberch, the brother of ex-Reading striker Danzell Gravenberch, has been compared to compatriots Frank Rijkaard and Frenkie de Jong, and has been described as a "better version of Paul Pogba."
"Look at his father; he's 6ft 5in tall, a behemoth of a man." That must be where the height comes from. Ryan has the physique of an athlete.
"This is possibly why he stood out so early and why Ajax chose him and brought him to the academy, with his remarkable skills and technique." They may easily put him three or four years older than his actual age. That's when people discovered this boy was only 12 years old. They expected him to be a world beater.
"This happens to practically every youngster that is tall and from Surinam." 'This is the new Frank Rijkaard,' he is labeled. Everyone believes he is the ideal player to follow in Rijkaard's footsteps.
"He was awarded a starting spot in the Champions League against Liverpool at the Amsterdam Arena that night [in the first game of last season's group stages]. He handled everything as if it were nothing out of the ordinary, as if the Champions League were his playground.
"Erik ten Hag, the manager of Ajax, adores guys like Gravenberch, who can make a team tick.
"I'd say he'll go [this summer] 60% of the time and stay 40% of the time. I believe he'd be a Barcelona player, and if Xavi wants to play tiki-taka, he'd be excellent."
