There is still time in this summer transfer window, but the days are still moving forward at a brisk pace and that is not helping Bayern Munich. If the Bavarians have already achieved a blow by replacing the long package of Lucas Hernandez with the free arrival of Daley Blind until the end of the season, the main file remains at the goalkeeper position. The Rekordmeister has rarely had any problems since Manuel Neuer (36) has been a benchmark since joining the club in June 2011. However, the 2014 world champion will not play again for the season as he suffered a serious skiing injury. after breaking his leg. A size package for the Bavarians who therefore peeled the names to replace him. While Dominik Livakovic (Dinamo Zagreb), Yassine Bounou (Séville FC), Keylor Navas (Paris Saint-Germain) and Emiliano Martinez (Aston Villa) were briefly mentioned, two options emerged: repatriating Alexander Nübel (AS Monaco) or recruit Yann Sommer (Borussia Mönchengladbach).

The first who is under contract at Bayern Munich is supposed to return to the German club this summer after a two-year spell with AS Monaco. If Bayern Munich tried to bring back the 26-year-old German goalkeeper, AS Monaco does not hear it that way and the situation is blocked. According to our information, the former Schalke 04 goalkeeper is still training normally and has no plans to leave for the moment. Faced with this, Bayern Munich decided to activate the track leading to Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer (34). Experienced, with a good business card in the Bundesliga since his arrival at Borussia Mönchengladbach in 2014, the Swiss porter has the distinction of speaking German and French. A major asset when you see the two main contingents within the Rekordmeister. Arriving at the end of his contract next June, Yann Sommer can already agree with Bayern Munich for an arrival this summer, but Julian Nagelsmann’s team will need it now.

Bayern Munich will review their approach

Reluctant to let go of his boss, Borussia Mönchengladbach will be difficult to convince even if Borussia Mönchengladbach is looking for leads. The name of Yvon Mvogo (FC Lorient) has been mentioned and we can tell you that according to our information, Montpellier goalkeeper Jonas Omlin is seen as a priority by the Fohlen in the event of Yann Sommer’s departure. If solutions have been worked out internally by Borussia Mönchengladbach, the desire to keep Yann Sommer prevails for the moment. The latter announced to his club that he would like to join Bayern Munich, but the latest statements from sporting director Roland Virkus did not go in his direction. “We will not let Yann Sommer go. And that’s also what we said to Bayern.” the leader said recently. Therefore, the speech given by the staff of Bayern Munich is quite cautious.

We discuss different options, but replacing Manuel Neuer during the winter break is of course extremely difficult, especially since few clubs want to give up their number one explained in particular Oliver Kahn in an interview for Picture. While Manuel Neuer’s understudy, Sven Ulreich (34), has come out weakened in recent weeks and will find it difficult to assume the status of number one, Bayern Munich finds itself despite everything forced to continue to move forward and will insist in the file leading to Yann Sommer. This Tuesday, Picture brings a glimmer of hope to Bayern Munich supporters. If the rejection of Borussia Mönchengladbach is real as to the first approach of the Rekordmeister, this is not necessarily synonymous with an end to the file.

Bayern Munich’s proposal amounted to five million euros, an amount deemed correct by the Bavarian leaders, but which does not seem to the taste of Borussia Mönchengladbach. The team coached by Julian Nagelsmann could therefore return to the charge with an increased offer to try to convince the Fohlens. The latter would rather expect an amount estimated between 8 and 10 million euros. Anyway, the situation is pressing for the German club which certainly has the scoop on Yann Sommer, but must still succeed in convincing Borussia Mönchengladbach. The replacement of Manuel Neuer is far from obvious…
