As of early October 2025, Serge Gnabry is keeping his head down and focusing on football at Bayern Munich. The club, meanwhile, continues to balance squad planning and wage structure while exploring other targets, including interest in Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi as reported by Softfootball, so sorting Gnabry’s future is going to be part of a wider conversation.
Gnabry rececntly said:
It’s up to the club to approach me. Whether that will happen or not, we’ll see.
Gnabry has responded on the pitch. He has started the 2025/26 season well, with three goals and three assists in the Bundesliga plus two more assists across other competitions. That form has helped persuade Bayern’s hierarchy that he still has plenty to offer. The club’s confidence in building around both youth and experienced performers is underlined by reports that they expect Michael Olise to be a long-term piece of the puzzle. Gnabry’s resurgence fits neatly into that plan.
Bayern’s post on their offical X account highlights Serge Gnabry’s hot streak, confirming his goal or assist involvement in all five prior Bundesliga matches of the 2025/26 season, showing 3 goals and 3 assists across six games by late September.
Internally, Bayern are said to be prepared to offer Gnabry a contract extension, but on reduced terms. His current deal runs until June 2026 and he is reportedly among the higher earners at the club, with annual wages in the region of €17–18 million. Club sources say financial prudence is a priority as Bayern manage wages and potential incoming transfers, and that is why a salary adjustment is on the table. Meanwhile young additions like Nicolas Jackson have settled quickly and strengthened Bayern’s options in attack, making the squad deeper and more flexible.
Gnabry, for his part, appears willing to compromise. Those close to him say he feels at home in Munich and values the chance to compete for trophies.
He recently said:
I’m just focused on playing well. And then what will happen, will happen.
Serge Gnabry’s comments which reflect a strategic stance, leveraging his current form to pressure Bayern Munich into a contract offer was posted by Fabrizio Romano on his official X account.
So expect talks to follow his form rather than precede it. If both sides find common ground, a new deal that reflects the club’s financial strategy and Gnabry’s renewed importance could be wrapped up before the current contract expires
