Annual salary of 20 million euros! Falke: Gnabry willing to take pay cut to stay at Bayern

Well-known reporter Falke reported that Bayern player Gnabry is willing to accept a salary cut to stay in the team.

Gnabry's current contract will expire in the summer of 2026. He has started well this season. With Musiala and others injured, he has contributed 3 goals and 4 assists in 6 league games.

Despite Gnabry's outstanding performance, his future at Bayern is not certain. The club's sporting director Eberle is working to reduce the team's high salary total, and the possibility of introducing 19-year-old star Mara is still being discussed internally. Gnabry's current pre-tax annual salary is as high as 17 million to 20 million euros, and Turkish clubs have expressed interest in him.

This situation is strikingly similar to Sane, who recently left the team. Sane failed to renew his contract due to salary differences. He eventually changed his agent after reaching a preliminary verbal agreement and moved to Galatasaray on a free transfer last summer.

It is reported that Bayern was only willing to provide a new contract of 8 million to 12 million euros for Sane's annual salary of 20 million euros at the time, and he finally got a contract with an annual salary of 9 million euros plus a bonus of 3 million euros at Galatasaray. The prospects for Gnabry's contract extension will test the negotiation strategy and flexibility of Bayern's management.
