There are increasing signs that FC Bayern and Serge Gnabry might part ways in the summer. While Munich have recently done everything they can to extend the contract with the DFB star, the trend on Säbener Strasse is now towards a sale. This is also due to Sadio Mane and his possible move to the German record champions.
As reported by “Sport BILD”, the Bayern bosses are slowly but surely losing patience in contract poker with Gnabry. The club and the players have been negotiating for months, and an agreement is still not in sight. According to consistent media reports, the 26-year-old rejected the latest offer of almost 19 million euros.
Even if those responsible on Säbener Straße recently emphasized that they are still hoping for an extension, they already seem to have a plan B in the back of their minds.
Mane might serve as a door opener for a summer Gnabry sale
According to “Sport BILD” information, the sporting future of Gnabry an der Isar depends largely on whether Bayern will be awarded Sadio Mane or not. According to reports, FCB is currently in pole position in the competition for the Liverpool star.
According to the newspaper, a Mane transfer would significantly increase the pressure on Gnabry and also affect his sporting perspective on the Isar. In plain language: With Mane, the German national player would receive significantly less playing time than in the past. This might lead to the DFB international leaving the record champions as early as next summer. According to rumours, he has so far flirted with a free farewell in 2023.
Bayern would like to sell Gnabry in the event of a Mane commitment, as you might still get a halfway attractive fee and there is no risk of losing another player for free.
