Bayern Consider Gnabry Extension, Conditioning Deal on Fitness and Consistency

His 2026 contract end date leaves time for talks under the club's short-term, lower-wage policy for over-30 players.

Overview

  • Sport director Christoph Freund praised Serge Gnabry's recent performances and character, stressing that sustained fitness is the priority before any decision.
  • Gnabry has five goal contributions in six matches after stepping into a central role during Jamal Musiala's injury under coach Vincent Kompany.
  • Reports indicate any renewal would hinge on three factors: fitness, performance consistency, and acceptable financial terms.
  • Bayern typically offers short deals to players over 30 and is seeking to reduce its wage bill, which could require salary adjustments in any proposal.
  • Gnabry's deal runs through summer 2026, creating a runway for negotiations but also the possibility of a free departure if no agreement is reached.
