Gnabry contract extension? Eberl sets the record straight | OneFootball

Munich’s offensive has been on a roll for weeks, and Serge Gnabry is one of the factors behind it. Now, Bayern’s sporting director Max Eberl has commented on a possible contract extension.

Serge Gnabry is in top form this season. The attacking all-rounder has been involved in four goals in three Bundesliga matches this season (2 goals, 2 assists). Playing in central attacking midfield, the 30-year-old has drawn attention. Against HSV, Gnabry also scored a spectacular goal.

“It’s really nice when the ball goes in like that. That was a tight angle. Today, it just went in. We’re playing well together individually, moving the ball well, with a blind understanding,” enthused the national team player.

After Bayern’s emphatic victory, Max Eberl was asked about the attacking player. Regarding Gnabry’s future, the 51-year-old said: “Serge is currently an extremely important player for us. He’s delivering exceptional performances in midfield, where he can showcase his cleverness even more. I’ll try to find out behind closed doors how and when we’ll hold talks.”

Gnabry’s contract with the record champions runs until 2026. Regarding a possible extension, the 2020 Champions League winner told Sky: “It’s still a little while away, I’m looking to keep going like this so I have good arguments. I’m also enjoying the phase I’m in. It’s not out of the question, of course. We’ll see.”

Eberl expressed satisfaction with the team’s overall performance on Saturday evening. “It was a solid team performance, we defended very actively as a collective. The guys played with full commitment in the first half. In the second half, we made a few adjustments, but we kept pushing for goals.”

He added: “If we bring what we’re capable of to the pitch, we’re hard to beat. If we think we can get away with a little less effort, it can get tight. We should play like we did today.”
