In search of a goalkeeper to compensate for the long absence of Manuel Neuer, Bayern Munich is nearing goal for Yann Sommer. An arrival that will push Borussia Mnchengladbach to recruit Montpellier, already assured of recovering a doorman… Monaco.
Lecomte will leave Monaco for Montpellier.
The solution finally arrived from Monaco. But not necessarily with the expected player. While actively looking for a goalkeeper to fill the long injury absence of Manuel Neuer, Bayern Munich will not recover Alexander Nbel six months from the end of his loan. Another doorman belonging to the princely formation will unblock the situation in Bavaria.
A Swiss can hide another
To temporarily forget the 2014 world champion, the Rekordmeister will bet on Yann Sommer (34 years old). Author of very good performances with Borussia Mnchengladbach for eight and a half seasons, the last Swiss bulwark, who had broken a record in the Bundesliga by making 19 saves at the Allianz Arena (1-1), last August, was chosen by Munich leaders. A transfer that could bring up to 9.5 million euros to the Foals, says Bild, while the player was not in training for the day to finalize his transfer.
A sum that the North Rhine-Westphalia club will almost entirely reinvest in Jonas Omlin (28). Rather interesting for two and a half years in the Herault, the Swiss goalkeeper was chosen by Mnchengladbach to take over from his compatriot and partner in the selection. Finding a quality replacement for this winter transfer window was the last obstacle to Sommer’s departure for Bayern. It is now done with the agreement reached in recent hours.
Lecomte will return to Montpellier
But then, what is the relationship with Monaco? Well, the MHSC, to let Omlin go, was able to count on the cooperation of the ASM. Indeed, Benjamin Lecomte (31), ready since last summer at Espanyol, has agreed to return to La Mosson, where he played between 2017 and 2019, says L’Equipe. Barred by competition from Barcelona and on the Rock, the French international will return to La Paillade for a low sum which has not been disclosed in order to put an end to this game of musical chairs: Sommer at Bayern, Omlin Mnchengladbach and therefore Lecomte Montpellier .
