Gnabry Linked to Liverpool Ahead of Contract Expiry

Former Arsenal player and current Bayern Munich winger, Serge Gnabry, is reportedly being pursued by Liverpool as he approaches the conclusion of his contract.

Current Performance and Career Stats

Since moving from Arsenal to Bayern Munich in August 2016, Gnabry has found the net 97 times in 300 matches. He has contributed to the team’s efforts this season with four goals and three assists. Additionally, he has netted twice for the German national team in the current year.

Potential Liverpool Move

As per reports from Sky in Germany, Liverpool seems poised to lead the chase for Gnabry’s signature. With his contract at Bayern set to expire next summer, he is eligible for a free transfer. This scenario allows Liverpool to initiate discussions with him during the upcoming January transfer window, potentially bolstering their attacking options.

Bayern’s Intentions and Future Prospects

Despite Liverpool’s interest, Bayern Munich is still keen on keeping Gnabry, who will be turning 31 in July. The Mirror indicates that officials at Anfield have already made inquiries amid growing interest from Juventus.

Negotiations for Contract Renewal

German journalist Christian Falk has mentioned that Bayern is in talks regarding a contract extension that might involve a pay cut, a situation he would also face if he joins Liverpool. Currently, Gnabry’s earnings range from €17 million to €19 million annually, and it seems unlikely that Liverpool would match such figures as he ages. Concerns linger regarding his ability to perform at the highest standards in the Premier League, especially given his previous challenges at Arsenal and West Bromwich.
