The goalkeeper question at Bayern continues to be difficult. Although Manuel Neuer was recently spotted training on Säbener Straße again, the German record champions’ trip to Asia will probably take place without the goalkeeper.
Should it become apparent that the 37-year-old will be fit in time for the start of the Bundesliga season, Yann Sommer’s departure should only be a matter of time. But then the Munich-based company would probably like to hire a new “new representative”. The focus should now be on a candidate who was already traded at FC Bayern in the winter.
We’re talking about Yassine “Bono” Bounou. The Sevilla FC keeper made his name at the World Cup in Qatar when he sensationally reached the semi-finals with Morocco after saving two penalties in the shoot-out against Spain in the round of 16.
Is Bayern interested in World Cup hero Bono again?
How specific the interest from Munich is at the moment is unclear. However, the “Relevo” reports that FC Bayern “has reactivated” its interest. The reason for this could be that the club from Andalusia put every player on the transfer list without exception in order to reduce debt.
However, it is not known whether Bono himself would be interested in moving to Germany. In winter he is said to have rejected a transfer to the Bavarian capital.
Theoretically, the goalkeeper carousel could get going in the coming weeks. It is already clear that David De Gea will leave Manchester United. The Spaniard is to be replaced by Inter goalkeeper Andre Onana. The Milanese, in turn, are said to want to intercept the departure of the Cameroonian with the commitment of Bayern goalkeeper Yann Sommer.
Then at the latest Bayern would have to react. In addition to Bono, the Georgian Giorgi Mamardashvili has recently been traded as a potential summer successor and possible new heir.
