Serge Gnabry's talks with FC Bayern continue to falter, and selling the national player has long since been impossible.

It shouldn't just be about Gnabry's salary.

Munich - Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Müller, Manuel Neuer.

FC Bayern Munich is facing an exciting transfer phase, with some leading players' contracts expiring in 2023.

The course for the future must be set more than ever, time is running out.

By the end of the season, clarity should be created, a summer full of speculation is not in the interests of the record champions, as

currently reports.

Creating clarity also applies to Serge Gnabry.

• Serge Gnabry

• Born: July 14, 1995 (Age: 26 years old), Stuttgart

• FC Bayern Munich

• Contract until: 06/30/2023

• Market value: 70 million euros

Born in Stuttgart, he became a regular at FC Bayern after his loan to TSG Hoffenheim (2017/2018 season).

His contract expires in 2023.

Talks about extending the contract have apparently been going on since 2021. For a long time, a new working paper seemed just a matter of form, but Gnabry's departure can no longer be ruled out.

Not only for financial reasons, Gnabry supposedly also wants to be involved differently on the lawn.

Does Gnabry want to play in a different position?

So it is said that Gnabry wants to play a bigger role.

According to

information, the national player has given head coach Julian Nagelsmann a wish: he wants to play in a more central position!

On the ten, just behind the top, for example.

Gnabry would have more design options there and would have to work less backwards.

The Bayern dilemma: Both Thomas Müller and Jamal Musiala can fill this position, and Leroy Sané has also played in a more central position.

So what about Gnabry?

Is a change the only solution to fulfill his wish?

FC Bayern: Gnabry's salary expectations "not nearly compatible"

The salary should also be a reason why the negotiations do not seem to be progressing at the moment.

reported

that "the financial ideas of the versatile attacker are not remotely compatible".

Allegedly, Gnabry currently earns eight million euros.

Sané and Kingsley Coman are in other spheres and apparently earn more than twice as much.

It's clear that the national player would like to see himself in a similar category.

Nkunku change burst: what does that mean for Serge Gnabry?

FC Bayern is of course preparing for a Gnabry departure, Christopher Nkunku is said to have aroused serious interest.

RB boss Oliver Minzlaff gave the Munich team a rejection live on TV before the cup game against Union Berlin!

"Christopher Nkunku will also be our player in the coming season," said the managing director at ARD.
