Bayern Munich captain Manuel Neuer not too long ago suffered a damaged leg. Consequently, the membership have been scrambling to seek out a top quality alternative for Neuer, who won’t play once more within the 2022/23 season. It seems that this alternative may simply be Croatian World Cup hero and penalty save maestro Dominik Livaković.
In response to Florian Plettenberg, talks between Bayern and the Dinamo Zagreb keeper have not too long ago began:
BFW evaluation
Livakovic has been one of many key gamers in Croatia’s run to the World Cup semi-finals — nonetheless, at 27 and by no means having performed exterior Croatia, this switch doesn’t make an excessive amount of sense from a Bayern perspective. Maybe Livakovic is deliberate as a six-month stop-gap of respectable high quality and can be bought on in the summertime. Or maybe he’s deliberate as Bayern’s No. 2 of the long run.
In the end, Bayern require a direct Neuer alternative as a result of it’s potential that Sven Ulriech won’t be as much as the duty of being Bayern’s predominant keeper for an prolonged time frame. If Alexander Nubel is unavailable to return, Livakovic could possibly be the proper resolution for the Bavarians — and who is aware of? If he is ready to elevate his degree of play to his present World Cup ranges, possibly he may even change into Bayern’s beginning keeper sooner or later.
