Bayern has made an excellent start with 10 consecutive wins in the first 10 official games of the new season. German media "Bild" pointed out that team winger Gnabry is the secret winner, and he may also get a contract extension due to his outstanding performance.

The report stated that after winning all the first ten official games of the season, all the spotlight of Bayern Munich is focused on the goal machine Kane (who has scored 18 goals) and Olise, who has contributed 5 goals and 6 assists, as well as new aid Luis Dias: He has also scored 6 goals and sent 4 assists after joining with a transfer fee of 67 million euros this summer. But there's also a hidden winner in this stellar start to the season: Gnabry.

The attacker has often been regarded as a sale candidate in the past because he has only been able to reach his potential in stages due to multiple injuries, which is not commensurate with his high salary of approximately 19 million euros per season. It is reported that at the beginning of this summer, Bayern executives were prepared to sell him if they received a suitable offer. But then, everything took a completely different turn.

Gnabry had increasingly shown good performances towards the end of last season, and with Musiala suffering a severe fibula fracture in the Club World Cup in early July, he suddenly became extremely important again. Head coach Kompany relied on Gnabry, who often plays on the wing, to replace him in the No. 10 position in Musiala's absence - and it was in this position that he rejuvenated.

Gnabry has not only played in all ten official games so far in the 25/26 season, but has also contributed 3 goals and 4 assists. At the same time, Gnabry has once again become a regular member of the German national team, having previously been excluded due to his sluggish form.

The unintended consequence of this is that his contract expires in the summer of 2026, and an extension is no longer considered impossible - provided that Gnabry can continue to show the consistency on the pitch that he has often lacked in the past few years in the coming weeks and months.

When asked about a potential contract extension in mid-September, sports director Eberl already showed his willingness to negotiate: "Gnabry is currently an extremely important player for us. But when we start talking, I hope it can happen behind the scenes."

In addition to his performance, there are other factors supporting Bayern's longer-term cooperation with Gnabry: head coach Kompany is a fan of his and will protect this right-footed player with a goal threat when he is in poor condition.

In addition, Gnabry is also very popular within the team: he has a cheerful personality and is talented in languages ​​(in addition to German, English and French, he even knows a little Spanish), and is especially willing to help new players like Dias adapt to the environment as soon as possible. This comprehensive quality also makes Gnabry attractive for his future at Bayern.

How does this German international plan for the future? Gnabry said last weekend: "I'm not thinking about these things at the moment. I'm very relaxed. I want to focus on the moment to play my best."

However, Gnabry also revealed a small outlook: "I have always said that I feel very comfortable in Munich - at the club, in the team, It's great with the people around me. I'm 30 years old now and my career won't last much longer. So I'm starting to think: Do I want to do something else? But like I said, my focus is on the present and we'll see what happens."
