Bayern contract extension? Serge Gnabry sets the record straight | OneFootball

Serge Gnabry is currently in outstanding form. However, whether he will extend his contract with FC Bayern, which runs until 2026, is still unclear. Now he has commented on his situation.

With his goal to make it 2-0, Serge Gnabry was once again, as so often this season, a decisive factor in the 3-0 home win against Bayer Leverkusen. Before the season, the 30-year-old attacking player was still considered a clear candidate for sale. Currently, in the absence of the injured Jamal Musiala, he has developed into an absolute regular starter in Vincent Kompany’s system.

After the match, he was asked by Sky moderator whether he was considering a possible contract extension beyond the summer of 2026. His answer: “That is definitely something you think about.”

In short, Gnabry confirmed his interest in continuing to play for the German record champions. However, the German international could not yet reveal when these considerations might lead to a result: “We’ll see. I can’t say yet.”

Gnabry praises Bayern coach Kompany

An important key to Gnabry’s current top form—and a good reason for a contract extension—is undoubtedly his coach. Gnabry himself knows this and praises Kompany in the highest terms for the successful rotation: “It’s a great sign from the coach to rely on those who haven’t had as many opportunities. When they then perform like this, it’s obviously great. It makes us much stronger as a unit when something like this comes out against such an opponent.”

The reason for the rotation was, of course, the upcoming duel with Paris Saint-Germain, about which Gnabry had the following to say: “Paris and Bayern have great respect for each other, the last matches have always been on equal footing, and most of the time the team that scored the first goal won. It’s going to be a cracker! We’re going there with confidence and are hoping for a win.”
