TOP STORY: Bayern keen on Sommer to replace Neuer
Bayern Munich have placed goalkeeper Yann Sommer at the top of their shortlist as a successor for Manuel Neuer, according to Sky Sports Deutschland’s Florian Plettenberg.
Julian Nagelsmann’s side have stepped up their search for a goalkeeper this month, and while they have been linked with World Cup stars Dominik Livakovic and Yassine Bounou, it looks as though they will first make a move for a familiar Bundesliga name.
Sommer, 34, is set to be out of contract with Borussia Monchengladbach in the summer, and having maintained his level of performances on the international stage as the starter for Switzerland, the Bundesliga champions could now look to reach a verbal agreement with him to secure his services at the Allianz Arena ahead of the 2023-24 campaign.
Neuer, who suffered a leg fracture on a skiing tour after Germany‘s elimination from the World Cup, has a contract that runs through 2024.
