Manchester City now hold a significant interest in signing Serge Gnabry from Bayern Munich.

That is according to Football Transfers.

So, what is the situation involving Manchester City and Serge Gnabry? Let’s take a look…

Manchester City want Serge Gnabry

Well, this is a very interesting development.

Football Transfers believe Manchester City are ready to abandon their pursuit of Lucas Paqueta as the West Ham No.10 continues to find himself under investigation from the Football Association for alleged breaches of gambling rules.

If the situation is not resolved soon, Pep Guardiola is happy to walk away from the Brazilian – who recently praised Bernardo Silva – and target alternative options, with Gnabry an option for the treble winners.

The Germany international – who Arsenal sold to Werder Bremen in 2016 – has developed into one of Europe’s most effective forwards at Bayern Munich, scoring 82 goals in 228 appearances for the German giants since his arrival in 2017.

Gnabry is not enjoying his strongest season so far this term with just one goal in ten appearances, although he remains a quality player right in the midst of his prime at 28.

Serge Gnabry would be a real asset to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City

In our view, Gnabry would be a clever signing by the Citizens.

The Bayern Munich No.7 can play anywhere across the frontline, appearing on the left, right and also in the centre already so far this season, and regularly before the current campaign too.

Gnabry – as aforesaid – is effective in front of goal, although the Manchester City target is also very creative, providing 51 assists in his 228 appearances for Bayern Munich so far.

Versatility is a key trait for any forward to have under Guardiola, as well as efficiency, so in that respect, the Stuttgart-born attacker ticks a lot of boxes for Manchester City.

Be sure to keep an eye on this situation, as anything could happen.
