Bayern Munich’s GK candidates are dropping like flies. Within the wake of Manuel Neuer’s season-ending ski damage, the German Rekordmeister have been linked with starring goalkeepers on the just-ended FIFA Males’s World Cup left and proper. However now the curiosity in Sevilla and Morocco’s Yassine “Bono” Bounou, in addition to in Croatia and Dinamo Zagreb’s Dominik Livaković, has apparently cooled. PSG’s Keylor Navas was by no means possible. This implies it’s Gladbach keeper Yann Sommer — Bayern’s longtime Bundesliga nemesis — taking middle stage.
From Sky’s Florian Plettenberg:
Information Yann #Sommer: He stays the highest candidate as a way to substitute Neuer – in case the return of Nübel would fail! Negotiations with Monaco not straightforward at this stage. Livakovic, Navas and Bono are out of curiosity. @SkySportDE pic.twitter.com/xRQWhEyT5P— Florian Plettenberg (@Plettigoal) December 19, 2022
The Bavarians reportedly need to get their scenario with AS Monaco-loaned Alexander Nübel clarified as shortly as doable, but it surely’s not trying promising:
An settlement with Alexander Nübel will not be in sight and is getting more and more unlikely. Bayern are in talks with Yann Sommer within the background. The Swiss goalkeeper is open to a transfer to Munich [@SkySportNews]— Bayern & Germany (@iMiaSanMia) December 19, 2022
So what’s the cope with Sommer, the Swiss worldwide who will save all the things in sight when he steps onto the identical area because the Bavarians? The recently-turned 34-year-old has a contract expiring in June 2023. Like Leipzig’s Konrad Laimer, he’ll quickly be free to signal his subsequent cope with any crew — however Bayern would wish him now, and so a switch must be agreed.
Gladbach apparently have both little inclination or capability to maintain their hero keeper past this yr, so it may be time for them to get what they’ll. Transfermarkt charges Sommer at a cool €5m, making him among the many cheaper — but in addition older — choices to switch Neuer.
