“We will not give up Yann Sommer. That’s what we told Bayern too.”, Borussia Mönchengladbach’s sporting director Roland Virkus chose clear words on Saturday. Apparently there is no reason for FC Bayern to finally close the Sommer file.
Because as ‘Sport1’ reports, a transfer of the 34-year-old goalkeeper is above all a question of money, the virus announcement is part of poker. The first Bayern offer is said to be five million euros, while the Lower Rhine is asking for eight million euros six months before the end of the contract.
Summer is pressure
One of the potential summer successors Jonas Omlin (28/HSC Montpellier) would cost about as much. But the people of Munich are still playing poker, with a view to other options such as Alexander Nübel (26 / AS Monaco), they do not want to put the required sum for summer on the table for the time being.
The Swiss himself seems hot on the step to becoming a record champion and is said to have already agreed on a contract. According to ‘Sky’, Sommer is putting pressure on internally, and Vice President Rainer Bonhof is said to have made his change request clear in a conversation in the past few days.
Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann said on Sunday about the alleged Virkus basket: “I didn’t faint at the headline. If he had said the door was open, as a board member I would have asked him if everything was okay with him. The poker face is part of this business.”
