Gianluca Di Marzio has ruled Real Madrid out of the race to sign Serge Gnabry, suggesting a move to Arsenal or Tottenham will serve him better.
According to reputed transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, as quoted by Defensa Central, Real Madrid will unlikely launch the offensive for Serge Gnabry, with Antonio Rudiger and Kylian Mbappe being their priorities. The Italian journalist further claimed that a move to Arsenal or Tottenham Hotspur could be on the cards for the Bayern Munich forward.
Serge Gnabry has gone from strength to strength since joining Bayern Munich nearly half a decade ago. Since moving to the Allianz Arena, the German international has shown what the hype around him during his Arsenal days was all about, establishing himself as one of the best forwards in the Bundesliga.
The 26-year-old has enjoyed a solid 2021/22 campaign, amassing 16 goals and ten assists in 43 appearances across all competitions thus far. But Gnabry’s contract runs out next year, putting Bayern Munich in a spot of bother over his long-term future. Such a situation has captured the attention of Real Madrid, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur.
The interest from Real Madrid stems from the rampant uncertainties surrounding the futures of Eden Hazard and Marco Asensio. If the two disgruntled forwards leave Real Madrid, Los Blancos will need to invest in a wide attacker, making Gnabry a viable target.
As for Arsenal, Gnabry’s return could be a step in the right direction for an evolving team that will need a few players closer to their peak years. And with Nicolas Pepe’s Arsenal future up in the air, Gnabry has emerged as an option worth considering for the Gunners.
The Bayern Munich forward is also on Tottenham’s radar, which is hardly surprising, considering Steven Bergwijn could depart from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the summer. And according to Gianluca Di Marzio, Arsenal and Spurs will be in contention to sign Gnabry, with Real Madrid unlikely to pursue him in the coming transfer window.
Real Madrid’s priority is to complete the Bosman moves for Antonio Rudiger and Kylian Mbappe, with Di Marzio ruling out Gnabry’s transfer to the Santiago Bernabeu. It will be interesting to see if the 26-year-old German international looks to leave Bayern Munich this summer, bringing Arsenal and Tottenham into the picture.
