Gnabry explains transfer decision
Serge Gnabry has explained why he's penned a four-year extension at Bayern Munich despite having faced an increasingly uncertain future at the Allianz Arena this summer. The 27-year-old was heavily linked with an exit from the Bundesliga as he approached the final months of his contract in Germany
On signing the contract, the former Arsenal starlet said: "I thought a lot about what I wanted as a player for the next few years - and came to the conclusion: I want to stay at Bayern, win everything here again and experience something - above all the Champions League again.
"Celebrating titles, but this time with our fans. It's something special because I can play here with my friends at the highest level. I certainly wouldn't experience that at any other club. I want to experience great moments here again - and not somewhere else. The hunger for big titles doesn't go away."
