Keeper among longest-serving “foals”
“I’m currently having very open talks with the club. I admit that it took me a lot of time to process the past season and to think about everything that happened. Everyone was dissatisfied, there was a lot of criticism. And now, of course, a lot of rumours,” said Borussia Mönchengladbach’s Yann Sommer recently to the “picture“. After a move to OGC Nice did not materialize, a new prospect for the goalkeeper has now emerged. The newspaper “ViewAccording to Manchester United, the 33-year-old is considering an engagement.

According to this, the “Red Devils” had internal talks about Sommer, who could be planned as a strong number two behind regular keeper David de Gea in order to put pressure on the 31-year-old, who recently failed in the 0: 4 against FC Brentford . The 74-time Swiss national goalkeeper could follow a path similar to Stefan Ortega (29), who moved to Manchester City after the end of his contract with Arminia Bielefeld. Unlike Ortega, a commitment from Sommer would be associated with a fee, since his contract with the “foals” is still valid for one year.
Sommer must now decide whether he wants a new challenge or whether he will stay with Gladbach and extend it, as Jonas Hofmann (30) and Alassane Plea (29) did recently. He should have a three-year contract ready to be signed, and with a salary of around 4 million euros, he is one of the top earners in the club. In view of the upcoming World Cup in Qatar in the winter, the “Blick” assesses a farewell as rather questionable. The Swiss is one of the three longest-serving professionals at Borussia.

Borussia Mönchengladbach: Summer also an issue for Leicester City?
In addition to the troubled English record champions, the newspaper also speculates about an interest from Leicester City. The “Foxes” recently lost their captain and record player Kasper Schmeichel (35) to Nice, which turned to the Dane after negotiations with Sommer were halted. Since then, Danny Ward (29) has been guarding the Leicester goal.
But not only summer is said to have recently aroused the interest of Man United, but also Christian Pulisic (23) from Chelsea according to “The Athletic”. In the room is a loan from the winger, whose working paper is still valid until 2024. Should there be a deal, the former Dortmund player would rank second in this summer’s most valuable loan transfers with a market value of €42m. Together with Romelu Lukaku (29), among others, the Blues would then have loaned out players worth 123 million euros.
