New challenge? Gnabry opens up about his future | OneFootball

Serge Gnabry is once again one of the key figures in Bayern Munich's offense. The 30-year-old has now publicly commented on his sporting future.

Back in the spring, his time in Munich seemed to be on the brink. Injuries and inconsistent performances temporarily made him a candidate for sale. However, under Vincent Kompany, the offensive player has made a fresh start. Gnabry benefits from a new role in the center, where his goal threat and creativity can be better utilized.

On Saturday evening, Gnabry spoke about his current situation and possible future decisions on ZDF Sports Studio: “I'm not really focusing on that right now. I am extremely relaxed. I want to concentrate on the here and now to deliver my best performance. Everything else will be seen.”

He continued: “I have always said that I feel very comfortable in Munich – in the club, in the team, with the people. I am now 30 and my career will not last forever, so I am starting to think about it. Will I do something else? Do I want a new challenge? But as I said, my current focus is on the present. We will see what happens when the time comes.”

Contract Talks with Conditions

Bayern Munich apparently plans to make a new offer to the national player. According to BILD, Gnabry would have to accept a pay cut. With an annual salary of up to 18 million euros, he is one of the top earners in the squad – a scale that Munich wants to reduce in the future.

Off the field, the 30-year-old also holds high value. According to transfer insider Christian Falk, he is considered an important figure within the team and a close confidant of Joshua Kimmich. This social role gives him additional weight – comparable to the position David Alaba once held in the locker room.

Whether Gnabry extends his contract or decides on a new path remains open. What is certain is that under Kompany, he has gained value both athletically and personally – and has thus put himself back in a strong negotiating position.
