The Bavarians chose Spanish from Brentford. If they close, Yann will go to Osaka immediately
– MILAN
Yesterday, before flying to Japan, Yann Sommer repeated the same concept which he evidently doesn’t seem to get tired of: he told his coach Thomas Tuchel and the directors that he was eternally grateful to Bayern for giving him the opportunity to play in an elite club, but confirmed once again that his time in Bavaria is definitely over. He repeated that he wants Inter and he wants it immediately, without waiting for a return to Europe: the fact that the Nerazzurri are also in the Rising Sun for a tour similar to that of the Germans can even help speed things up. You could go quickly from one training camp to another, from one dressing room to another. That’s exactly what Inter want and what Inzaghi asked for: it wouldn’t be the best to continue forging the team of the future without the starting goalkeeper. The novelty, however, is that the Bavarians have told the good Sommer to be calm: he will be satisfied to the satisfaction of everyone, of him but also of the two clubs, Inter and Bayern, united by a very solid alliance. A (minimal) surplus of patience will be needed, between today and tomorrow the green light should arrive because at the same time the Germans are about to enlist the goalkeeper to support the returning Neuer: he is the 27-year-old Spaniard David Raya, one of the revelations of the last Premier who did not renew with Brentford and attracted illustrious attention to himself.
THE UNLOCK

At that point, with a new number one to give to Tuchel, Sommer will be able to join his future teammates between Osaka and Tokyo. After all, what has so far held back the succession in the Inter goal hasn’t been money, but the hole created in Tuchel’s squad: once realizing that Neuer’s recovery was more difficult than expected, the coach gave the Swiss the halt. However, his liking for Raya is total and this explains why the road went downhill with Inter: the nerazzurri now only have to check if their wait will be rewarded with a discount of a couple of million or if it will be necessary to pay the 6 million clause in full. The hand could theoretically have been forced sooner, by paying the amount due on the basis of the contracts, but diplomatic and political reasons have led the Nerazzurri to a patience that now seems rewarded.
AND ANATOLJ…

Sommer now has a strong desire for Italy, but he is still the man who broke blue dreams: in front of him, twice, not once, Jorginho missed the penalty that would have led the European champions to play in Qatar. In the Nerazzurri, on the other hand, he will have to help not make people regret too much the contagious madness of André Onana, the man who overturned the club’s door in ten months after the tyranny of Handanovic. Inter have not lost the idea of pairing a goalkeeper like the 34-year-old Sommer with a second on the launch pad and already destined to take his place quickly: Anatolij Trubin, the 21-year-old owner of Shakhtar and Ukraine, expires in 2024 and for him Zhang’s club does not intend to move too much from the 10 proposed. And above all, he doesn’t want to indulge in too large a plethora of intermediaries. Optimism also resists in these streets, but if the negotiation should get even more complicated, keep an eye on Emil Audero from Doria: he is considered a guarantee second, ideal for simply keeping up with the Swiss. News of an alleged interest in the world champion goalkeeper, “Dibu” Martinez of Aston Villa, bounced yesterday from Argentina, complete with an offer for 15. Denials rained down: the Argentine would have been a name to be underlined in red only if plan A, the one that is now leading to Sommer, were collapsed.
