Real Madrid and Liverpool have been handed a major boost in pursuit of Serge Gnabry, with the 26-year-old German international open to leaving Bayern Munich.
According to a report by Goal, Serge Gnabry is not opposed to leaving Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window if the contract standoff between him and Bayern Munich drags on. The 26-year-old German international is a target for Real Madrid and Liverpool.
Serge Gnabry has transformed his career since joining Bayern Munich nearly half a decade ago. Now a key figure for club and country, the player is one of the best attackers in the Bundesliga and has enjoyed a decent 2021/22 campaign, amassing 14 goals and ten assists in 37 appearances across all competitions.
But the Bavarian giants are in a spot of bother over Gnabry’s long-term future, as his contract runs out in a little over a year. The precarious situation surrounding the 26-year-old German international has captured the attention of several high profile clubs across Europe, including Real Madrid and Liverpool.
The 2022 summer transfer window will be a crucial period for Real Madrid, with Florentino Perez keen on overseeing a major squad overhaul. Kylian Mbappe is poised to bolster Los Blancos’ attack ahead of the 2022/23 season. Still, they are also keen on adding another wide-attacker to the first-team setup, considering Eden Hazard and Marco Asensio face uncertain futures at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Gnabry is thus a viable target for Real Madrid, with the parties already having loose contacts between them. Former Bayern Munich defender David Alaba is also pushing for the transfer. But Real Madrid will have to fend off stiff competition from Liverpool to snap up the Bayern Munich forward.
The interest from Liverpool stems from the rampant uncertainties surrounding the future of Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian international is in a similar situation to Gnabry, with his Liverpool contract set to run out next year. But recent reports have claimed that Salah is on the verge of committing his long-term future to the Merseyside giants.
Nonetheless, Liverpool could pursue Gnabry in the summer transfer window, with Juventus competing with them and Real Madrid in the race to sign the 26-year-old German international. And with Gnabry considering leaving Bayern Munich, his three suitors might fancy their chances of snapping him up in the summer transfer window.
For now, what seems certain is that Gnabry could leave Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window if the contract standoff between the two parties drags on. With Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Juventus hot on his trail, it will be interesting to see if the 26-year-old German international’s stint at the Allianz Arena ends ahead of the 2022/23 season.
