""We're talking to each other. We're in good and open talks," said Eberl. "We're trying to find a way - on the one hand not to exceed our budget, on the other hand to make an offer that the player can live with, I'm talking in general not just about Serge. That's our task. Hopefully we'll find a way," added Eberl hinting that a pay cut is likely."
"Considered a someone who has been punching way below his weight, the 30 year-old has not justified his €18m wage bill. However, this season Gnabry has been a different beast. Thrown into a mix of number 10 or wide winger roles, Serge has put out strong performances. With 11 goal contributions so far and playing like he was made for the CAM role, Gnabry has earned himself an extension."
"Musiala would be the preferred CAM, which would push Gnabs out wide. The right wing is currently occupied by one of the best right wingers Michael Olise and one of the best youngsters in Lennart Karl. Luis Diaz has proven to be a mainstay on the left and a second spot behind him and Musiala would be available for Gnabry."
Serge Gnabry has transformed his performances this season, contributing 11 goal involvements while playing as a number 10 and wide winger. Bayern Munich executive for sport Max Eberl confirmed that the club and player are in open talks about a contract renewal. Eberl said the club aims to balance its budget while making an offer the player can accept, hinting that a pay cut is likely. Musiala's injury gave Gnabry opportunities in the CAM role, but Musiala's return would likely push Gnabry back to the wing. Bayern faces competition for wide positions from Michael Olise, Lennart Karl, and Luis Diaz. The club may consider recruiting a specialist left winger instead of extending the 30-year-old.
