FC Bayern would still like to extend the expiring contracts with top scorer Robert Lewandowski, FCB captain Manuel Neuer and DFB international Serge Gnabry. However, this project is anything but easy. Now club boss Oliver Kahn has given an update.
Julian Nagelsmann confirmed on Friday that Bayern had “good talks” with Lewandowski adviser Pini Zahavi, but no decision had yet been made on how to proceed with the Pole in the summer. According to rumors, this tends to an early departure at the end of the season. FC Barcelona in particular should be very interested. Bayern, on the other hand, are still hoping for a contract extension.
Müller as a prime example for Lewy & Co.
Before the Bundesliga home game once morest VfB Stuttgart, Oliver Kahn commented on the current situation surrounding Lewandowski, Manuel Neuer and Serge Gnabry: “Believe me, we are in the process of building a team that can win the Champions League in the next few years. We last saw it with Thomas Müller that we calmly extended the contract. We are now doing the same with Robert Lewandowski, Manuel Neuer and Serge Gnabry. It makes sense to announce something whenever you have something to announce.”
Gnabry hesitates, only details are missing from Neuer
According to “BILD”, Gnabry should have an offer ready to be signed, but hesitates to accept it. According to reports, he might earn between 17-19 million euros per year in the future and would rise to the top earners on the Isar. Recently, reports have been circulating that the DFB star is flirting with a premature farewell in 2023.
Even with Manuel Neuer, there is still no final agreement. As the “BILD” reports, the club and the players agree in principle to extend the cooperation beyond the summer of 2023. However, the last details in terms of salary and term still have to be clarified.
With Thomas Müller and Sven Ulreich, two FCB professionals each extended their contracts by one year this week. Ur-Bayern Müller will stay with the record champions until 2024, Ulreich until 2023.
