"Bayern Munich fans are no strangers to seeing players of the squad rundown their contracts. During the 2024/25 season, the trio of Alphonso Davies, Joshua Kimmich and Leroy Sané happily went into the season with less than a year left on their respective contracts. So the fact that more players headed into the 2025/26 season with less than 12 months on their respective deals is hardly new. What is new is that Bayern may not want to retain most of these players."
"Bayern would like to keep Serge Gnabry beyond the end of his contract next summer, but only on reduced terms. The club likes the recent development Gnabry has shown and have an interest in principle in extending his contract. Gnabry currently earns €17-18m gross per year with bonuses. He feels comfortable at Bayern, is very popular within the team and would be willing to take a pay cut in order to stay. The club is in good exchange with Gnabry's management."
"Whether or not Bayern should retain the services of Gnabry beyond his 31st birthday next summer has been hotly debated among Bayern fans as injuries and poor performances started to rack up. His form to start the 2025/26 season has been impressive, but how often has Gnabry performed well for spells only to go quiet for even longer? Bayern will need to take their time and make a careful decision here."
Several Bayern Munich players entered the 2025/26 season with less than 12 months remaining on their contracts, a familiar situation after 2024/25. Raphaël Guerreiro and Leon Goretzka have been linked with departures when their deals expire in 2026. Bayern now appears unlikely to retain most of the expiring players, but the club wants to keep Serge Gnabry on reduced terms. Gnabry earns about €17-18m gross with bonuses, feels comfortable at the club, is popular among teammates, and would consider a pay cut. Bayern must weigh his injury history and inconsistency despite a strong start to 2025/26 before deciding.
