Goalkeeper Yann Sommer from FC Bayern has left his future in Munich open, but has not ruled out another season in the FCB shirt.
“I still have two years of contract and haven’t been here that long. But I’m not worried at the moment,” said the 34-year-old Swiss on the sidelines of the Munich championship celebrations. The keeper has little prospect of playing time when Manuel Neuer is back in the Munich goal.
Recently, media reports had increased that Sommer wanted to leave the German record champions after this season – mainly so as not to jeopardize his place in the goal of the Swiss national team due to a lack of match practice.
Bayern is threatened with an oversupply of goalkeepers in the summer
“Yes, yes,” Sommer replied on Sunday when asked whether he needed a permanent place in a club team for a place in the national team. “But still very relaxed. We’ll see.”
Sommer had come from Borussia Mönchengladbach during the winter break for eight million euros to replace the injured Neuer. His contract is dated until June 30, 2025. As of now, Sommer, Neuer and Alexander Nübel, who is loaned to AS Monaco, would meet in Munich in the new season.
In addition, Bayern still have Sven Ulreich and Johannes Schenk as keeper. Neuer broke his leg in a skiing accident while on vacation after the World Cup in December.
