Bayern Munich’s Serge Gnabry has been linked with a move away from the German champions, with Real Madrid reportedly interested in bringing him to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Contract talks between the winger and his clubs have hit a wall, and that has led to interest from clubs abroad, with a move this summer very much possible.
According to German media, Bayern offered Gnabry a €19 million-a-year, but that has been rejected by the player, which has led the club to believe that the German’s desire to stay isn’t down to money.

There has been interest from various countries: Real Madrid are believed to be the frontrunners, while Liverpool and former club Arsenal are also believed to be in the running for Gnabry’s signature.
Gnabry is in the final year of his contract at the Allianz Arena, and Bayern will want to sell him this summer rather than wait and lose him on a free next year.

How much would Gnabry cost?
It is believed that Bayern would be open to selling Gnabry for a €40 million fee, according to Spanish outlet Defensa Central, with the fee being enough to cover costs for a replacement.
Bayern want to sign Sadio Mane from Liverpool to boost their attacking line, and he will cost around the same, which is why they are demanding such a fee for Gnabry.
This season, Gnabry netted 17 goals and provided 10 assists, but it’s been considered a disappointing season from Bayern’s perspective as they won just the Bundesliga title.

Over the course of his career with Bayern, Gnabry has scored 63 goals in 171 appearances, having joined the Bavarians in 2018.
Real Madrid seem to be best-placed to sign the German, having missed out on the signing of Kylian Mbappe, who decided to sign an extension at Paris Saint-Germain instead.
Arsenal have also maintained interest, but a lack of Champions League football may hinder them from getting a deal done, while Liverpool have said to be on the hunt for a top-quality replacement for Mane for when he leaves.
