FC Bayern is apparently drawing consequences from Manuel Neuer’s health setback and is discussing two different goalkeeper models.
This is reported by the pay TV broadcaster “Sky”. Yann Sommer, who represented Neuer in goal in the second half of the season, is at the center of Munich’s considerations.
According to this, one option for FC Bayern should be to deny Sommer, who was last concerned with a change of club because of Neuer’s supposedly approaching return, the departure from Munich – even though Inter Milan is now officially interested in the 34-year-old Swiss on Säbener Straße should have registered.
The German record champion’s alternative solution to the thorny goalkeeping issue is said to be to sell Sommer to Inter. In return, however, Giorgi Mamardashvili from FC Valencia should come to Munich immediately, it is said.
The 22-year-old Georgian has been hotly traded at FC Bayern for a few days. However, a transfer fee of 20 to 30 million euros should be due for him.
FC Bayern threatens Manuel Neuer’s absence for a long time
The mind games are necessary because Neuer’s comeback between the posts is said to be delayed. According to “Sky”, the captain will miss the start of Bayern Munich’s training session in mid-July. The Asia tour is also on the brink.
Internally, the prevailing opinion is that Neuer still needs time to return, it said. After his vacation, the 37-year-old should undergo further tests, after which the further procedure on his return will be planned.
In addition to Neuer and Sommer and backup Sven Ulreich, Alexander Nübel will also be in the squad for the coming season. The former Schalke player does not want to return to Munich after his two-year loan to AS Monaco and is pushing for a departure from Bayern Munich.
