According to the latest reports, Bayern Munich have opened talks over a new deal with Serge Gnabry but the winger could still be on his way to the Premier League.
Liverpool and Arsenal have been strongly linked with the 26-year-old and as per the BILD, Bayern might be looking to cash in on him after all.
Gnabry has rejected the first contract offer from the Bavarians and BILD is now claiming Bayern might withdraw their offer altogether or will put forward a deadline before which Serge Gnabry will have to put pen on paper.
🚨 Bayern Munich management have discussed internally about withdrawing their contract offer for Serge Gnabry or setting a deadline for the player to accept.

Will Bayern Munich be forced to sell the winger?
Serge Gnabry has been a class apart for Bayern, scoring 64 goals in 171 games but the Bavarians do not like to be held hostage so there’s every chance they will put the winger up for sale in the coming weeks.
The Bundesliga giants are not a very cash-rich side so they will not want to lose out on even a single penny from player sales and this is why Gnabry will be sold this summer if he does not agree to the terms of the new deal.
Will Serge Gnabry be a good fit for Arsenal?
Gnabry’s stint at Arsenal was a massive failure as he played only 18 games for the Gunners but Kevin Campbell has made it clear that the 26-year-old will be a wonderful addition to the current squad.
He told Football Insider: “He is obviously a player Arteta admires. He knows his qualities and likes him as a player.
“The likes of Gnabry would fit in seamlessly. He knows the club. It would be the second coming but he knows the club. It is not as if it would be all knew to him. That part of it is really important.
“You want new signings to hit the ground running. You would not have to worry about that with Gnabry. There is definite legs in it because Gnabry still has Arsenal in him. If the opportunity arises… Wow. He is quality.”
Arsenal will definitely hope that Gnabry’s prior connections with them will put them in the spotlight but there’s a massive chance that Liverpool will overtake them.
Jurgen Klopp is eager to land Serge Gnabry because Sadio Mane will be leaving in the summer and Mo Salah is likely to leave next year and if Liverpool do step up their interest then Arsenal will find it almost impossible to land the German international.
If Gnabry is leaving Bayern Munich then Liverpool will be the next logical step for him, instead of joining Arsenal a club that will be playing in the Europa League next season.
We don’t think the winger has any sort of massive sentiments attached to Arsenal so if the Gunners and Liverpool are both standing on his doorsteps he is likely to make the more practical decision.
