Bayern Praise Gnabry’s Revival but Delay Contract Decision

His hot start has come while deputizing for the injured Jamal Musiala.

Overview

  • Serge Gnabry has started the 2025/26 season with 2 goals and 3 assists in six appearances across competitions, thriving in a more central role under Vincent Kompany.
  • Sporting director Christoph Freund called it a joy to watch Gnabry and emphasized fitness as the priority, reflecting the club’s satisfaction with his current level.
  • CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen said he hopes Gnabry sustains this form through the season, highlighting past concerns about consistency and injuries.
  • Reports indicate Bayern will wait a few months before deciding on an extension, with local outlets saying management is not opening talks yet and could consider a shorter, lower‑value offer next summer.
  • Musiala is expected back in November, which could reduce Gnabry’s minutes, and the winger’s contract is due to expire next summer after a summer in which he was linked with a sale.
