Manchester clubs, City and United set to battle for Gnabry
The German international, who has scored 65 goals in 171 games for Bayern, can play on either flank as well as down the middle
Both Manchester City and Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Bayern Munich forward Serge Gnabry in a £35million deal this summer.
The 26-year-old's contract at the Bundesliga champions expires in 2023, and the two parties are yet to agree to new terms.
And now, according to The Sun, with the German giants keen to make some money on the frontman rather than lose him for free, City and United are both said to be watching his situation closely.
Gnabry - who made 18 appearances for Arsenal before moving to Germany - has reportedly turned down a £200,000-a-week offer to stay in Munich, putting Europe's top clubs on red alert.
Pep Guardiola may need to strengthen his attack this summer, with Raheem Sterling expected to move to London and sign for Chelsea.
Gabriel Jesus is expected to be confirmed as a new Arsenal player soon too, which would leave the champions light in attack, and Guardiola thinks Gnabry could fit the bill.
The German international, who has scored 65 goals in 171 games for Bayern, can play on either flank as well as down the middle, meaning his versatility could prove handy for Guardiola.
New United boss Erik ten Hag is also keeping tabs on Gnabry with the Red Devils' transfer window still yet to kick into life.
Despite regular talks with Frenkie de Jong, ten Hag is yet to add to his squad this transfer window, and with Cristiano Ronaldo requesting to leave the club, the Dutchman may need to get business rolling sooner rather than later.
Bayern are keen to keep Gnabry, but are willing to cash in if a new deal cannot be agreed upon.
Many Arsenal fans view Gnabry as the one that got away. Arsene Wenger brought him into the club academy as a teenager in 2013, before appearing to lose faith in him and sending him loan to West Brom in February 2016.
He was eventually sold to Werder Bremen for £4.5m that August before joining Bayern a year later.
Gnabry has since gone on to become a world-class performer, winning 12 major trophies with the German giants including four Bundesliga titles, a Champions League and the Club World Cup.
The German also has two FA Cup victories to his name with Arsenal.
