Serge Gnabry is currently only a substitute.

According to a report, the big earner could even leave FC Bayern in the summer.

Munich – In the decisive phase of the season, the FC Bayern Munich pros not only play for the three coveted titles, but also for their status within the team.

While some players such as Jamal Musiala, Kingsley Coman or Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting prove to be extremely important and therefore not for sale, the form curve of other players is clearly pointing downwards.

Serge Gnabry, for example, has lacked his class and the necessary motivation in the past few weeks.

According to a report, the national player's departure in the summer is not out of the question.

Serge Gnabry

Born: July 14, 1995 in Stuttgart

At FC Bayern since: July 1, 2017

Contract with FC Bayern until: June 30, 2026

Internationals: 39 (21 goals)

Serge Gnabry has been out of shape for weeks – the national player only extended his contract in the summer

Only last summer did Munich extend the contract with Gnabry, which threatened to expire in summer 2023, until 2026.

The decision-makers thus prevented a situation like that of the former defense chief David Alaba, who left Bayern in the summer of 2021 for Real Madrid on a free transfer.

For the extension, the record champions promised the 27-year-old an annual salary of a whopping 19 million euros.

However, the record champions probably did not expect Gnabry's fluctuating performance curve and debates off the field at the time.

The offensive player also got off to a good start in the current season and can look back on strong statistics with nine goals and five assists in his 23 Bundesliga appearances to date.

However, the drop in performance followed after the turn of the year.

Serge Gnabry caused displeasure among superiors with weak games and a trip to Paris

Between the first two games of the year, a Friday game in Leipzig and a home game on the following Tuesday against Cologne, he caused unrest with his short trip to Paris for Fashion Week and was publicly warned by sports director Hasan Salihamidzic.

But after the measure, Gnabry showed no sporting reaction and often remained pale.

In eight Bundesliga appearances this year, he managed just one goal and one assist – far too few for a player of his caliber.

Not to mention the lack of relation to his lavish salary.

If it becomes important, Gnabry is currently no longer set.

In the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League at Paris Saint-Germain, he was initially on the bench and only came in with just under fifteen minutes to go.

On the following matchday he was in the starting line-up for the 3-2 defeat in Gladbach, but had to leave the field at half-time.

He also watched most of the last two games against Union Berlin and his youth club VfB Stuttgart from the substitutes' bench and was only allowed to play for the last 25 minutes.

Farewell to Serge Gnabry apparently not out of the question – the DFB star has the future in his own hands

Gnabry still has a few games to prove himself.

He could start as early as Wednesday in the second leg against Paris, should he be used.

Something should now change, especially in his often criticized lack of attitude, otherwise he could apparently be threatened with the end.

According to information from

Sport Bild,

a farewell scenario is currently not out of the question.

In the event of a lucrative offer, the Swabian could even leave Bavaria in the summer, as the newspaper writes.

Gnabry still has eleven Bundesliga match days, a maximum of three rounds in the DFB Cup and six possible games in the Champions League to advertise on his own behalf.

The right winger, whose market value is estimated at 65 million euros according to the

transfermarkt.de

portal , has his fate largely in his own hands.
