Bayern Munich forward Serge Gnabry is reportedly not a target for Arsenal this summer, despite numerous reports linking the German with a return to the Emirates.
The 26-year-old is eyeing a move away from the Allianz Arena this summer despite having a lucrative contract offer on the table from the German champions. Manchester United are among the other clubs interested in signing Gnabry, according to reports, but rumours over a Gunners bid are apparently incorrect.
That is according to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, who took to Twitter on Sunday evening to deliver an update, writing: "Understand Arsenal are not working to sign Serge Gnabry. He’s not in the list, as things stand - Arsenal are now focused on different targets. Gnabry has FC Bayern new contract proposal still available - no decision made yet on player side."

The question now will be who is being prioritised ahead of a move for Gnabry. Raphinha has been strongly linked with a move to Arsenal in recent weeks, with the Gunners having had multiple bids rejected already amid competition from Barcelona and Chelsea.
The Blues had an offer accepted by Leeds for the Brazilian but it now appears Barcelona are back in control following comments from club president Joan Laporta. As cited by Romano on Twitter, Laporta said: “Raphinha wants to come at Barça. We have communication and have spoken with Leeds. What's there is that there are other clubs that want Raphinha and are making their proposals."
Away from Raphinha, Arsenal are also understood to have enquired as to the availability of free agent Paulo Dybala. As La Repubblica reports, via GIFN, that Arsenal have enquired with agent Jorge Antun over a move for the free agent. They aren’t alone though as Manchester United, Inter Milan and Napoli are all said to be in the race.
