In addition to the unexplained future of Robert Lewandowski, the whereabouts of Serge Gnabry at Bayern is also not secured. The contract poker with the national player could not have a decisive weakening in a departure this summer.

Serge Gnabry's contractual situation at Bayern has been the subject of many speculations for months.

One thing is clear: FC Bayern wants to extend with its international, has submitted a contractor-ready contract offer to the offensive man. Gnabry could earn 17 to 19 million euros from Munich in the future, it was most recently said in unanimous media reports. But Gnabry has so far weighed off, did not want to accept the offer of his employer.

In the meantime, FC Bayern's attitude seems to change in relation to the foreign striker: If Gnabry still does not want to extend and decide on a future together, then he should go this summer.

Finally, it was reported that the pain limit for a prompt transfer should be 60 million euros. Especially Real Madrid could step on the scene in these dimensions after the efforts around an Mbappé transfer to the Spanish capital had recently failed.

FC Bayern wins his games even without Serge Gnabry

Unlike Robert Lewandowski, Gnabry is not considered indispensable among Munich. FC Bayern has delivered outstanding games with the native of Stuttgart in the past four years-but also without him.

The national player mostly comes to the fore in the games, in which Bayern appear dominant and superior. He achieved 14 of his 17 goals in the Bundesliga and Champions League when the FCB won at least two goals anyway. Examples are 5-0 against Dynamo Kyiv or the 7: 1 against RB Salzburg in the premier class as well as the 7-0 against VfL Bochum or the 4: 1 at Hertha BSC and SC Freiburg.

FC Bayern presents itself powerfully and dominant, and Gnabry usually performs at a top level. But especially in the games in which the German industry leader does not work, Gnabry also dives too often.

A difference that he wants to be himself is just in the foreground in these games and takes responsibility. In the case of the wing striker, this is rarely recognizable.

Gnabry went against Gladbach and Villarreal with FC Bayern at

The crispy in the past few months, why not very good became the tenth championship title in a row, were in the knockout games in the cup competitions against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the DFB Cup (0: 5) and in both duels With FC Villarreal (0: 1, 1: 1) in the Champions League.

In Gladbach and Villarreal, Gnabry went down with its colors and was replaced prematurely after disappointing performances. In the DO-OR-Die game in the quarter-final second leg against the Spaniards, head coach Julian Nagelsmann initially waived the FCB star entirely and only brought him to Jamal Musiala after 82 minutes.

Gnabry is simply not as important and as valuable as the player and his environment would like to see himself for Bayern Munich.

Mané as the successor for Gnabry at FC Bayern?

The soccer class of the almost 27-year-old international is undisputed. But it is not at a level that the Bayern managers around board boss Oliver Kahn and Gnabrys director Hasan Salihamidzic could not find again, should Gnabry separate.

Finally, the rumor mill was bubbling that Sadio Mané from Liverpool could be a serious option on Säbener Straße. A player who has repeatedly demonstrated to make out the difference in favor of his club for years.

Gnabry, on the other hand, could have brought itself to the list of sales with the almost already common attitude to complain about a lack of appreciation in the club and at the same time stop their hand for even larger salary demands.

The 26-year-old has been a fixture at FC Bayern in the past four years. He won the German championship every year in Munich, was an important part of the triple squad from the outstanding 2019/2020 season.

He is not indispensable for Bavaria, such as a repeated world goalkeeper and captain Manuel Neuer, a midfield driver and mentality monster Joshua Kimmich or a double world footballer and record goalkeeper Robert Lewandowski.
