Borussia Mönchengladbach: summer before transfer to Manchester United

change in winter

“Fohlen” sports director Roland Virkus confirmed last week that Borussia Mönchengladbach had an offer for goalkeeper Yann Sommer, who is currently with the Swiss national team at the World Cup in Qatar. Now it seems that this is very specific and comes from England – again from Manchester United, who were already interested in signing the keeper in the summer.

This is reported by thepicture“-Zeitung on Monday, the paper writes of a “lightning change” of the 33-year-old in winter. At the “Red Devils” Sommer should succeed the Spaniard David de Gea, whose working paper expires at the end of the season and after twelve years in the club’s service should not be renewed again. Since the contracts of Newcastle loanee Martin Dúbravka (33) and Tom Heaton (36) are also ending, the 20-time English champions are facing a change in the position between the posts. On the Lower Rhine, they are ready to talk about a possible transfer fee for his veteran, who could also leave the Bundesliga club for free next summer. “We weigh everything carefully and are prepared in any case,” quotes the Virkus newspaper.

When asked about possible connections to United, the 79-time national player for the “Swiss Confederates”, who will meet Portugal in the World Cup round of 16 on Tuesday evening (from 8 p.m. in the TM live ticker), kept a low profile a few months ago, everything was “good, as it is.” Virkus recently said with a view to Sommer’s future: “I can’t say in which direction this is going. It’s really like I say fifty-fifty. Why? Not because the club doesn’t want to give Yann any prospects. Yann knows very well that he is a very important component of our management structure. But you also have personal goals. Maybe you want to play at another club after all. Maybe you want to get another championship somewhere. He has to weigh all of that.”

With a market value of 5 million euros, Sommer is the most valuable goalkeeper in the Bundesliga with a contract ending in 2023. The TM rumor mill is already hotly discussing the goalkeeper’s timely departure: “Good luck in the Premier League, Yann! And thanks for everything. Without you we would now be in the 2nd league,” writes, for example, user “pingo”, who also dares to look into the future: “If Yann leaves the club, the youth should get their chance. Maybe the Ter Stegen story will repeat itself…” (for discussion)
