Nagelsmann on Ulreich’s situation and goalkeeper plans from summer

FC Bayern is about to sign Yann Sommer. Due to the fact that Gladbach made a breakthrough with Jonas Omlin, the summer transfer will also take place. Of course, Sven Ulreich will not like to see that. Julian Nagelsmann has now commented on the Bayern keeper.

So far it has always been Sven Ulreich who has been allowed to stand in as soon as he is absent. But now Yann Sommer will switch to FC Bayern and slip into the role of temporary goalkeeper.

This is of course a small blow for Ulreich – but one that Julian Nagelsmann says he will put up with. “He will accept the role. He can live with both situations because he is intelligent and has a good character,” said the Bayern coach on Wednesday when he was asked whether ‘Ulle’ was number one or two the second half will go.

Nagelsmann does not deal with the situation from summer

Manuel Neuer is scheduled to return in the summer of 2023, which will of course reshuffle the cards. Nagelsmann does not attach any great importance to this fact. “My job is to do my job well in the second half of the season so that I’ll still be here in the summer,” he explained smugly. With Neuer they also have an “outstanding keeper who will hopefully come back in the summer”.

Ultimately, Ulreich, who initially benefited, may even end up suffering from the Neuer injury. Only because of this, FC Bayern now has to sign a goalkeeper who will stay in Munich for more than half a year. For this reason, Ulreich is threatened with the role of number three.

In a way, the 34-year-old is lucky that he still has a contract until 2024. Bayern probably no longer have any real use for him in the summer.
