Indirect threat against Rd8 pinning Nf6 should mean something here. I tried for a long time to keep Bg5 where it is, but had to instead find:
1. Bxf6! Nxf6 (alternative below)
2. Qg5!
Should be up with a piece, since black can find no extra defence for Nf6, and it’s still pinned also. Ne4 not possible, Ng4+ Nxg4 is of no help.
1. … Rxf6
2. Rxf6 Nxf6
3. Qg5!
Should be the same.
1. Bxf6 Nxf6
2. Qg5 Ng4+
3. Nxg4 Rxf2+
4. Rxf2 Rd7 (nothing better to find)
5. Ne3
is up with a piece for 2 pawns.
Not a huge lead it is, but white looks clearly better.
