In the past few days, more and more Yann Sommer (34) has emerged as FC Bayern’s dream keeper. Munich’s plan: The Swiss from league rivals Borussia Mönchengladbach should represent the injured Manuel Neuer (36) and ideally be an equal competitor after his return.
However, Sommer’s employer Borussia Mönchengladbach is still opposed, which keeps the other candidates in the running. The record champions may also let Vladan Kovacevic take part in the raffle. The 24-year-old Bosnian is in the box for Polish leaders Rakow Czestochowa and is an unmistakably talented goalkeeper who is still in his prime.
“Best young goalkeeper in Europe”
It is now an industry practice for players to be offered to clubs, although this is not normally done publicly. Kovacevic’s advisor Franjo Vranjkovic now chooses this unusual approach. “I offer FC Bayern to test goalkeeper Kovacevic”the agent is quoted as saying by the ‘Ippen’ media group, which includes the Munich ‘tz’.
Kovacevic’s management obviously still sees a chance to place its own client with the German industry leader. But at least times is Kovacevic, whom Vranjkovic as “the best young goalkeeper in Europe” marked, now increased attention certainly.
