Last-minute deal? Gnabry forces Bayern to rethink transfers | OneFootball

Serge Gnabry's strong performances in recent games have apparently had an impact on Bayern Munich's transfer strategy.

According to a report by Munich-based tz, the club's decision-makers see less urgent need for action in the market - at least in the position behind Harry Kane - due to the 30-year-old's form.

Gnabry impressed in a central role in the 6-0 win over RB Leipzig, filling the gap created by Jamal Musiala's injury. His two assists and striking offensive actions showed that he can not only fill the number 10 role but also give it his own note.

Instead of looking for a direct replacement for Musiala in a last-minute deal at the end of the transfer period, the Munich team now rates the combination with Gnabry, Michael Olise, and Luis Diaz as "sufficient", according to the report.

However, this does not mean that the search for reinforcements has been completely stopped. Rather, the focus is now on flexible offensive players who can complement the attacking line. The names Fábio Vieira (Arsenal) and Marco Asensio (Paris Saint-Germain) are still considered options, as they can be used on both wings and in the offensive midfield. Jadon Sancho is also mentioned, but according to BILD football chief Christian Falk, there is nothing to the rumors about the Englishman from Manchester United.

Gnabry was considered a sale candidate

Gnabry himself had an uncertain future in Munich just a few weeks ago. After a disappointing preseason, he was considered a sale candidate. However, with the departures of Leroy Sané, Kingsley Coman, and Thomas Müller, as well as Musiala's injury, the squad is significantly thinner in the offense. In this situation, Gnabry has taken his chance - and delivered immediately.

Vincent Kompany explicitly praised the striker after the Leipzig game: "Serge is a very underrated player. He was important in big games for Bayern in the past and is always important. I'm not surprised and don't think he's much better than usual - that's his level."
