That has now been confirmed with the club as they revealed that the forward has signed a four-year extension, keeping him until at least 2026.

“FC Bayern have extended German international Serge Gnabry's contract until 2026.

The 27-year-old also admitted that he spent the summer thinking about his future and made the decision that staying at Bayern Munich would be the best choice. Not only that, he added that he wants to “experience more great moments here – and nowhere else”.

"I thought a lot about what I want as a player in the coming years, and came to the conclusion that I want to stay at FC Bayern, win everything again here and experience things - in particular celebrating another Champions League title, but this time with our fans,” Gnabry told FCBayern.com.

“It's special because I get to play here with my friends at the highest level. It certainly wouldn't feel the same at a different club. I want to experience more great moments here - and nowhere else. The hunger for major honours isn't going away."
