Gnabry, Magcard&&Huppa: Among the options of high salary, short-term contract and departure, how does Bayern choose?

11:04pm, 15 October 2025Football

Bayern has won 10 consecutive victories since the new season. Do you have any worries now? If it is at the court level, then the limited thickness of the lineup is undoubtedly a big problem, but this problem can actually be alleviated by the return of Musiala and Davis at the end of the year or early next year;

The adjustment of the lineup by the management outside the stadium may also be a big problem at present-contract renewal!

Next summer, the contracts of three of Bayern's current main players are about to expire - Gnabry, who reached his peak in 2020 but has been limited by injuries in the past five years, but has rebounded this season; Goretzka, who was the strongest B2B in 20 years but has still not shown improvement today; Upamecano, who has reached the level of the top central defender in the world and is only 26 years old.

So, when Bayern is bound to make lineup adjustments and salary control, what should be the choice for these three people?

If you can only make a long-term appointment with one person with high salary, and you have to give up one person with low salary, how should you answer this multiple-choice question?

If one player must be given up, it is undoubtedly Goretzka.

If Goretzka is still willing to play a good role in connecting and protecting the backcourt and passing the ball in the midfield and is not so crazy about pushing forward and positioning himself as a forward, it will not be a problem for the 30-year-old to stay at Bayern - -But unfortunately, this person seems to be only suitable for the "big muscle tyrant" of Bayern's 2020 team under Flick. He uses running and confrontation to constantly block opponents and attack on the spot in the crazy high pressure in the frontcourt. In fact, he is also lost in that role and "cannot extricate himself"!

But thankfully, Bayern's midfielder still has Pavlovich and Bischoff worth looking forward to, so when the pure engineer Palinja has no position, giving up Goretzka is not a regrettable option.

Who does the low-salary, short-term contract approach apply to? Gnabry

There is no doubt that Gnabry feels like he has returned to his peak this season - he has 3 goals and 5 assists in 10 games for the club and 2 goals in all 4 starts for the national team. It seems that he has found a new position more suitable for the 30-year-old now that Musiala is injured.

But Gnabry always has a problem: Or in the past five seasons, whenever everyone has expectations for him, he has begun to show puzzling performances; and whenever there is no hope for him, his sudden flash of inspiration is reminiscent of the "London Killer" with hard feet and fast impact in 2020;

Therefore, the problem before Gnabry and Bayern is simple and complex - considering that this is a contract year, if his performance can remain so efficient until the end of the year, then a low-salary short-term contract can undoubtedly be offered; but if he cannot perform well, perhaps leaving space to rising stars such as Karl is not a pity.

Of course, the protagonist that cannot be ignored in Bayern's frontcourt is Vlahovich. According to Romano's news, Bayern has already contacted Vlahović, who is unlikely to renew his contract with Juventus. Considering the visa-free status and the fact that the team really needs Kane as a substitute, choosing Foley is a good decision.

So, a very interesting topic is: If Gnabry and Forla can continue their current efficiency this season, should Bayern choose a 31-year-old German player or a 26-year-old Serbian forward next summer?

High-salary long-term contracts should be reserved for Upamecano

Judging from the reports of Plettenberg and Falk media people, the current contract renewal between players and the team is not smooth: Yupa wants a high salary + signing fee, and without concessions on personal terms, the renewal of Yupa and Bayern is not progressing satisfactorily.

Furthermore, due to the excessive number of target players in the central defender market next summer, Bayern is faced with the extreme "choose 1 from 2 or choose 2 from 3" situation in the selection of central defenders:

Bild's report shows that the total asking price for Yupa's signing fee and contract extension salary is the same as the total transfer fee and salary that Bayern plans to introduce Schloterback. If this is an extreme "2-choose-1", what choice will Bayern make?

But in terms of style itself, Yupa is good at pressing and pressing forward, while Shell is more suitable for playing behind and has good ball-playing ability. They should be partners rather than substitutes for each other. But if you want both, then you can only make a fuss about Jin Minzai;

Who else can choose? Guy!

Guey's advantage is that he is young and stable and will be free next summer. However, the disadvantage for each competitor is that they are all invited by wealthy clubs - Liverpool, Bayern, Barcelona and Real Madrid are all eyeing Guey. What Bayern can play is undoubtedly its huge advantage in salary.

However, the Bundesliga is at a competitive disadvantage and cannot compete with La Liga and the Premier League.

So, between the high-paying renewal of Yupa and the visa-free Guei, as well as the introduction of Shell, what choice should Bayern make? The Bundesliga's "choose 1 from 2" or the "extreme 2 from 3" with Guei?

Bayern fans look forward to the best lineup for the new season - it seems that the combination of Shell + Hupa is more optimistic.

In a Bayern fan's prediction for Bayern's 26/27 season on the Internet, the biggest change is that there will be no Kim Min-jae in the defense, and Schlotterback will be replaced.

So, when fans are willing to see the combination of Yupa + Shell becoming the backbone of the defense in the new season, should Bayern's management hurry up and deal with the contract renewal issue of Kim Min-jae and Yupa?
