Supposedly they are negotiating again, the bosses of FC Bayern and Borussia Mönchengladbach. According to another report, the Munich team should also have another Swiss player in their sights in the long term.
According to the Swiss tabloid Blick, FC Bayern and Borussia Mönchengladbach have resumed talks about a possible change from goalkeeper Yann Sommer to the German record champions from Munich.
The next few days would show whether Sommer could be signed for the injured Manuel Neuer, the report said. The newspaper did not name any sources for the resumption of negotiations, nor any further details.
Instead, “Blick” also speculated as to whether those responsible for the two Bundesliga clubs could agree on a transfer fee. Sommer’s contract with Borussia ends after this season. Bayern’s dream solution was 90 minutes into the Gladbach goal in the 0-1 draw against FC St. Pauli at the weekend. Most recently, Borussia had ruled out a change in their top performer. “We will not give up Yann Sommer. That’s what we told Bayern,” said sporting director Roland Virkus.
“Kicker”: Bayern has a long-term interest in Kobel
According to a report by “Kicker”, Bayern are said to have a long-term interest in Sommer’s compatriot Gregor Kobel from Borussia Dortmund as a possible successor to Neuer. The 25-year-old should become a specific topic from 2024 at the earliest, according to the report on Sunday. Then Neuer’s current contract ends. According to the magazine, FC Bayern also made initial contact with the Swiss.
Bayern’s current number one is 34-year-old Sven Ulreich after Neuer’s lower leg fracture, which forced the national goalkeeper to take a month-long break. In the 4: 4 against Red Bull Salzburg as the final test before the Bundesliga restart with the cracker at RB Leipzig next Friday, the 20-year-old substitute keeper Johannes Schenk came on in the final phase.
“Everyone sees the goalkeeper situation. We have to get a goalkeeper anyway, that’s out of the question,” said Nagelsmann. “I’ll do the fictitious case now: Ulle tears his inner ligament next week. What do we do then? Then a very young goalkeeper, who played his first game today, has to play in the Champions League and the Bundesliga. Then everyone says, are you still tight, why don’t you get a goalkeeper?”
