The situation
Serge Gnabry’s future in Munich is more up in the air than ever . The renewal of the German international with Bayern remains stalled , whose first offer was rejected by a player whose contract at Allianz expires in 2023. On Thursday, during a press conference at his concentration with Mannschaft, the footballer opened the door of Bayern making it clear that money is not the key factor that will decide whether or not he stays at Bayern. “It’s about appreciation, it’s something that has to be mutual,” Gnabry stressed to the German media. “The question is not money, as the press always writes. Within a club, there are many different ways to show appreciation towards the players . Therefore, for us players, not everything revolves around money as it is usually commented”, explained Gnabry before urging the journalists present not to ask him more questions about his contractual situation in Munich.
The details
Gnabry continues to sound strong for Real Madrid , which has been following the player closely for some time and is now considering bidding hard for him after not signing Kylian Mbappé . Much will depend on a Bayern that, in addition to not wanting to offer more than 19 million euros per year to its player, is close to closing the signing of a Sadio Mané who, in addition, would seriously jeopardize Gnabry ‘s position in the Bavarian starting eleven. Karim Adeyemi , Dortmund’s new signing from Salzburg and Gnabry team-mate, said: “Mané is a fantastic player. I spoke to a lot of people about him in Salzburg. He wasn’t as good then as he is today, but you can see how well he’s evolved. I consider him one of the most powerful wingers in the world and I think he’s better there than up front. It would certainly make the Bundesliga more attractive, but unfortunately he’ll probably go to the wrong club.”
