Serge Gnabry is currently one of the faces behind the form crisis at Bayern Munich. A day after the staid 1-0 win against FC Augsburg, the offensive player allegedly received a lecture from the top of the club.
As the “picture” writes, there was an intensive conversation between the national player and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic on the club premises on Säbener Straße on Sunday. During the approximately 20-minute “crisis talk” in the Munich fitness room, Brazzo talked wildly gesticulating to Gnabry .
The “Bild” reporters, who were able to observe the conversation through a window, therefore say that the winger received an “enema”. Gnabry seemed “thoughtful” after the conversation.
The 26-year-old had recently shown two weak games against Villarreal and FC Augsburg (each sport.de rating 4.5). Ironically, in the hot phase of the season, when it comes to the semi-finals of the Champions League and the decision in the Bundesliga title fight, Gnabry allows himself a low form.
In addition, the DFB star accompanies the sideshow of his unclear future. His contract with FC Bayern expires in the summer of 2023, and talks about an extension are said to be sluggish at the moment.
Contract poker heats up tempers at FC Bayern
According to “Bild”, Gnabry insists on 18 to 20 million euros per year, the Munich team allegedly only offered around 15 million euros and thus less than, for example, Leroy Sané and Kingsley Coman earn.
Although the 166-time Bundesliga player does not really intend to leave the club, Gnabry appears to be showing a hard edge in contract poker.
The latest report speculates that these issues were also raised by Salihamidzic on Sunday.
On Tuesday in the second leg against FC Villarreal, Gnabry can prove that he is really worth the princely salary – if coach Julian Nagelsmann puts him up at all after the performance of the past few weeks.
