The departure of goalkeeper Yann Sommer from FC Bayern is apparently getting closer. The keeper chaos at Manchester United could serve as a fire accelerator. David De Gea is on the verge of extinction there. That in turn could open the door wide for the Munich player.
The “Gazzetta dello Sport” reported last week that Yann Sommer is on the wish list of Champions League finalists Inter Milan. Nothing has changed to this day. In the meantime, however, it seems clear that the Nerazzurri actually need a new number one for the new season.
The reason for this lies in Manchester. Here David De Gea is on the brink of extinction at United. The Spaniard’s contract ends in a few days, and coach Erik ten Hag is said to be aiming for a separation. Although United have presented their goalkeeper with a new contract, this includes a salary cut, which De Gea will not agree to according to media reports. It is only a matter of days before his departure is certain, writes the “Daily Mail”, among others.
From FC Bayern to Inter Milan? Saudis tipping the scales
As a replacement for De Gea, those responsible for United have allegedly committed themselves to Inter’s number one André Onana. A meeting with the representatives of the Cameroonian is said to have taken place last week. If the deal goes through, Yann Sommer’s way to Milan would suddenly be clear.
As so often these days, the clubs in Saudi Arabia are considered to tip the scales. They are said to be looking into a signing from David De Gea. ManUnited could reinvest the fee due directly in Onana. The money from his transfer could then in turn be invested in the purchase of Yann Sommer. Thus, three clubs could solve their problem between the posts at once.
