“Many arguments” for Gnabry
According to Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn, the imminent farewell to national player Niklas Süle at the end of the season also had financial reasons. “It’s always about the money, of course. We have very specific boundaries, very specific limits that we don’t want to go beyond. We not only have responsibility for the sporting area, but also for the economic one,” said Kahn on the sidelines of the game against RB Leipzig on Saturday the TV channel “Sky”. Süle leaves the club for free.

Kahn is more optimistic about Serge Gnabry, whose contract expires in 2023. “We have many arguments that speak for FC Bayern Munich,” said the former international goalkeeper. The fact that the contracts of Manuel Neuer, world footballer Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Müller also expire in the same year does not cause “panic attacks” among the Munich team, said Kahn. “Of course that’s at the top of the agenda.” Now it’s about the decisive phase of the season.
With sports director Hasan Salihamidzic, Kahn can imagine that he will still be working at Bayern for a “very long time”. “Hasan has played a major role in the team’s success. We work together in a highly professional manner, ”said Kahn about his former teammate, who is tied with Munich until 2023.
