At Bayern there could be a lot of changes in the goalkeeper position this summer. According to a rumor, the German record champions have now turned down an offer for a new goalkeeper.
Journalist Luca Bendoni claims on Twitter that FC Bayern made an attempt to sign Yassine “Bono” Bounou from Sevilla FC.
As a result, the people of Munich submitted a verbal offer of eight million euros. The said transfer fee could have increased to a total of twelve million euros through bonus payments. However, according to Bendoni, Sevilla FC rejected the offer.
Competition for FC Bayern
With Paris Saint-Germain, FC Bayern should have a prominent and financially strong competitor in the campaign for Bono.
The keeper made an international name for himself at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. With Morocco, the 32-year-old reached the semi-finals, where only against France (0: 2) was the last stop. Earlier, Bono saved two penalties on penalties in the round of 16 against Spain.
Shortly after the World Cup, the goalkeeper was associated with FC Bayern. “Relevo” recently reported that the German record champions “reactivated” their interest. Bono still has a contract with Sevilla FC until 2025.
How does FC Bayern plan in the goalkeeper position?
FC Bayern is again relying on Manuel Neuer for the upcoming season, but he will probably not be available again for the start of the Bundesliga against Werder Bremen (August 18).
According to media reports, Alexander Nübel could be drawn to VfB Stuttgart on loan. Yann Sommer is allowed to leave the club early after half a year. It cannot be ruled out that FC Bayern will still hit the goalkeeper position on the transfer market.
