The announcement by Roland Virkus sounds unmistakable at first. Borussia Mönchengladbach will “Don’t give up Yann Sommer”, the foal sports director finally let know. You have that “Bayern also communicated that way.”
However, this should not be understood as a final rejection of a winter transfer, reports the ‘Bild’. Instead, Borussia can under certain circumstances “actually let us talk to you again”according to the tabloid.
Gladbach demands more transfer fee
That is when FC Bayern put eight to ten million euros on the table for summer. For classification: So far, the German record champions have offered five million and quite rightly consider this to be a fair market price for the 34-year-old keeper, who is six months before his contract expires.
However, it is also true that Bayern are looking for a replacement for the long-term injured Manuel Neuer (36) with absolute urgency. The most important first milestone from a sporting point of view is progressing in the Champions League Round of 16 against Paris St. Germain. And for this alone, FCB would earn more than ten million euros.
