In January, Yann Sommer switched from Borussia Mönchengladbach to FC Bayern to adequately replace the injured Manuel Neuer and to challenge the longtime number one after his return. After some shaky performances in the past few weeks and months, hardly anyone seems to trust the Swiss.
Coach Thomas Tuchel should also plan with Neuer if the 37-year-old reports fit again for the start of the new season. For Sommer, who will probably not get used to the role of number two, the only way out is to change clubs. It is expected that Bayern would not put any obstacles in his way.
United still interested
An option in the Premier League could open up for summer. As the ‘Bild’ reports, Manchester United is still showing interest in the 34-year-old. The Red Devils had already courted the goalkeeper’s services in the winter transfer period before he decided to transfer to Bayern.
David de Gea is currently still between the posts at Old Trafford, but the 32-year-old Spaniard has also recently become the target of criticism. So it is entirely plausible that United will add more staff, especially since summer would be easy to finance for the wealthy Manchester club. According to ‘Bild’, Bayern want to recoup the sum they spent in January for the 82-time international. The eight million euros would certainly fit into the budget of the Red Devils.
