Softfootball understands that Bayern Munich are edging very close to finalising a new contract extension for Serge Gnabry, with talks understood to be in the final stages, as reported by Fabrizio Romano via his official X account.
He said:
The agreement between FC Bayern and Serge Gnabry’s camp over new contract is at final stages. Details being sorted then pen to paper on new contract until June 2028.
There are still a few minor details to clean up, nothing major, but all signs point toward the winger signing on until June 2028. It’s not official just yet, though inside the club there’s a calm confidence the deal will be completed soon enough.
Bayern are in a phase where planning ahead is becoming just as important as winning right now, and keeping players who already know the weight of the badge is very important for the team.
Gnabry has been in fine form for Bayern this season, scoring a goal in Bayern Munich’s recent 3-1 victory against Sporting in the Champions League and also featuring in the team’s 3-1 victory against Pauli.
As a player, Gnabry’s numbers usually speak for him. He brings speed, sharp movement, and a real goal threat from wide areas. On certain days he looks unstoppable; on others, maybe quieter than expected, but even then defenders rarely relax around him.
The extension running until 2028 also offers stability during a time of internal changes. New management, tactical tweaks, shifting ideas, it can get messy without a solid core. Gnabry staying helps keep some balance in the dressing room, and that’s not something you measure easily on a stat sheet. Sometimes it’s just about trust and familiarity.
From Gnabry’s point of view, agreeing to stay says a lot. He could have explored other options, but choosing Bayern again suggests belief in where the club is heading. He seems settled in Munich, comfortable with the environment, and still hungry for more success.
In the bigger picture, this deal might not grab headlines like a blockbuster transfer, but it could matter just as much. Bayern are quietly locking down their core, and Gnabry staying put fits right into that plan. Sometimes, the smartest moves are the ones that just make sense.
