Nevertheless, Hainer expects the German international to extend his current deal, which expires in 2023.
"Our management is in talks with Serge. Our expectations are still a bit far apart," admitted Hainer in an interview with SZ (via iMiaSanMia) and added:
"So far we haven't reached an agreement, that's no secret. We know what we have in Serge, and I think he also knows what he has here.
"Serge belongs to the generation Kimmich/Goretzka/Sané who have known each other for a long time. I'm confident and I hope Serge will extend his contract," emphasized the Bayern chief.
