Sadio Mané’s move to Bayern Munich is becoming more and more apparent. You can hear from England: Liverpool might fight back and are thinking regarding Serge Gnabry.
Munich – For a long time it stood still, the transfer carousel FC Bayern. But in June it really picks up speed! More and more stars jump up, but a few players also step down. So should Robert Lewandowski probably leave the record champions this summer, even if the club has so far clearly spoken out once morest a sale.
In addition, the signs stand by Serge Gnabry on separation. The offensive player has not yet accepted Bayern’s contract offer and is said to be demanding more money. As its current working paper expires in 2023, the 26-year-old may be for sale in the summer. With one reason: FC Bayern is standing before signing Sadio Mané from Liverpool FC.
| Name: Serge David Gnabry |
| Age: July 14, 1995 (age 26), Stuttgart |
| Position: right winger |
| Club: FC Bayern Munich (contract until 2023) |
| Market value: 70 million |
Andrew Headspeath, a transfer expert on Liverpool FC, goes from the Mané-change to Säbener Straße. In this respect, a Gnabry farewell would be tolerable. But now a transfer hammer seems to be in the offing! For as compared to Headspeath tz.de and Merkur.de reveals, one thinks regarding Gnabry in Liverpool. “Liverpool will try to get him (Sadio Mané, Anm. d. Red.) to be replaced by Serge Gnabry,” said the journalist from 90min.com: “But apparently he’s asking for a lot of money.”
FC Bayern: transfer bang? Liverpool is probably thinking regarding Gnabry – “Wants a lot of money”
Money that the Reds might be more willing to pay. Gnabry was allegedly offered 19 million gross a year by Bayern. But the national player has so far refused. Apparently, Gnabry is not so much regarding the money as he is on the Press conference of the DFB team on Thursday revealed.
He also wished for a certain appreciation, he explained, “that should be paid tribute to by both sides”. What does that mean? “It’s not always the case that each of us only thinks regarding money,” emphasized Gnabry, “there are other things that play a role in the employment relationship in order to feel comfortable.” Otherwise, the FCB star did not answer any further questions regarding his future. “I don’t want to comment on my own contract situation here, so please don’t ask any more questions,” said Gnabry in Herzogenaurach.

Gnabry switched from Werder Bremen to FC Bayern in 2017 and then started on the Isar following a year on loan at TSG Hoffenheim.

In the Bundesliga alone he scored 14 goals, which made him the second-best goalscorer behind world footballer Lewandowski (35 goals).
Gnabry as a replacement for Mané at Liverpool?
At Liverpool FC he might actually replace Mané almost one to one. Under Jürgen Klopp, the Senegalese played mostly in the center of the attack last season and played there as a false nine – a position that would also suit Gnabry. He filled this role in the DFB team under ex-national coach Joachim Löw. In 31 international matches, Gnabry scored 20 goals as a center forward.
In terms of market value, Gnabry is on the same level as Mané. Noisy transfermarkt.de Gnabry is currently worth 70 million euros. Liverpool would not pay that much money to Bayern – more like 45 million, as can be heard. Hasan Salihamidzic is likely to put a similar sum on the table for Mané. (smk/sid)
