Bayern Munich: Serge Gnabry not considering summer exit
The prime agenda for Bayern Munich in the summer is to strengthen the attack. The Bavarian club is expected to sign a prolific goalscorer that can help them to compete on all fronts. They have often struggled for goals in decisive games this season after Robert Lewandowski left Bavaria last summer to join FC Barcelona.
The arrival of the new number nine may come at the cost of one high-profile departure in the attack. In the past few weeks, reports in Germany have suggested that Serge Gnabry could be on the list of departures in the summer. The latest update does suggest that Gnabry is not actively looking for a transfer.
According to Sky Sports in Germany, Serge Gnabry is happy in Munich, and he is not considering a move away from the club right now. However, Bayern is open to listening offers for the German international. The club hierarchy has been reportedly concerned by inconsistency in the performances of Gnabry.
Gnabry has struggled to be a consistent source of goals and assists for Bayern this season. Despite scoring 12 goals across all competitions, Gnabry has been a frustrating player for Die Roten in the second half of the season. He has scored only one goal in the last ten appearances for Die Roten. His appalling performance against Manchester City at Etihad Stadium summed up his Ruckrunde.
The German international has been a crucial player for the last few seasons. Die Roten managed to fend off interest from other top clubs last summer to secure the future of Gnabry. However, the faith shown by Bayern has not been reflected in the performances of Gnabry this season.
Bayern may find it difficult to sell Serge Gnabry in the summer since he is on a big salary and there are several years left on his contract. The Bavarian club will hope that 2022/23 was an anomaly for Gnabry and that he will get back to his best next campaign.

Apart from Gnabry, Sadio Mane has also been linked with a move away from Bayern in the summer. The Senegalese forward has also struggled for consistency since arriving from Liverpool in the last summer transfer window.
Mane was also involved in a dressing room bust-up after the defeat against Manchester City at Etihad Stadium earlier this month. Bayern rarely gives up on a star signing so quickly. However, the upcoming window is likely to be different. The record Bundesliga Champions may have to sell one forward to make space for a striker in the squad and wage structure.
