While the change posse around Robert Lewandowski makes the headlines, negotiations with Serge Gnabry seem to be coming to a head at FC Bayern. Explosive details about the status of contract poker have now come through.
As the “Bild” writes, the record champions recently made an improved offer to the hesitant offensive player, which responded to his demands.
The latest proposal is said to provide for an annual salary of between 17 and 19 million euros, thereby fulfilling Gnabry’s requirement to be put on a financial level with Kingsley Coman (17 million annual salary) and Leroy Sané (20 million annual salary).
The 26-year-old did not accept the offer again and is still delaying his decision. Gnabry is still disappointed with the way those responsible conduct the conversation and does not feel the necessary appreciation. Unlike Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka, the club should not see him as an important pillar of the team.
According to the report, however, the Bayern bosses are slowly losing patience with the procrastinating international. The current contract proposal is something like the last offer, according to the current status there will no longer be any further improvements, according to the newspaper.
Does Gnabry also want to go to Real Madrid from FC Bayern?
It is said that there is even talk of setting a deadline for the winger and thus forcing him to make a decision soon. Last week “Sport1” also reported that the Munich team wanted to clarify all open personnel questions by the end of the season and that an ultimatum might be in the offing.
The club bosses had already used a similar policy with David Alaba last year. The Austrian finally decided against Bayern on the deadline and finally switched to Real Madrid on a free transfer.
During the week, the “kicker” wrote that Gnabry may face a similar scenario. The offensive player is not thinking about an extension at the moment because Real Madrid have signaled an interest in him.
After all, the newly crowned German champion would be offered a transfer fee this time, since Gnabry still has a contract until June 2023.
