Is summer moving to Italy?: Manuel Neuer is king of Bavaria again

After Manuel Neuer (37) broke his lower leg during a winter ski tour and was out for the rest of the season, everything seemed that Bayern Munich would plan for the future without the goalkeeper. Yann Sommer was taken from Gladbach as a substitute, they divorced their confidant and publicly criticized each other. But almost seven months later, everything looks different again.

Since Thomas Tuchel took over from Julian Nagelsmann at Bayern-Bank, Neuer is back as number 1. Tuchel has proved to be a big Neuer fan and is excited about the health development of the multiple world goalkeeper, who has been making his comeback since May 9. the field works.

Will summer move to Serie A?

And delegate Yann Sommer (34) did not make it really difficult for his new coach either, because the Swiss could not always convince in the second half of the season and sometimes received harsh criticism from the media. Now he could flee from Neuer to Italy. As the “Gazzetta dello Sport” writes, the Nati goalie is a problem at Inter Milan. Being on the bench at Bayern is probably not a problem for the summer. The danger of losing his permanent place in the national goal for the European Championship 2024 to Gregor Kobel is too great. Because Manchester United is very interested in intergoalie André Onana (27), the goalkeeper carousel could now start rolling. In addition to Sommer, Valencia keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili (22) is also on Inter’s list.

The “Welt” reports that Neuer is well on schedule. He is working diligently on his return and would like to be on the field when training starts on July 13 and wants to do all the drills. “There were many critical voices, both internally and in the media. That was a motivation for Manuel to show everyone that he can return to his old strength,” said Bayern goal legend Sepp Maier (79).

Return also to the national team?

At the start of training, probably again in Säbener Strasse: Neuer’s closest confidante Toni Tapalovic (42). According to various media reports, the goalkeeping coach, who was fired in the winter due to differences with Nagelsmann, is about to return to Munich. Another trump card for Manuel Neuer. With that, the old keeper clique would be back together. A close-knit community that has been stuck together for years: Neuer, Tapalovic and substitute Sven Ulreich (34).

The German national team can hardly wait for the return of Manuel Neuer. Because the Germans are in a mega crisis in their own country a year before the European Championship, a leader like Neuer is now more popular than ever. The 2014 world champion could be back between the posts in the next friendlies in September and have ousted his representative Marc-André ter Stegen.

Whether in the national team or at Bayern, Manuel Neuer is well on his way to becoming Germany’s goalkeeper king. (byl)
