Inter will not be a walk: what can goalkeeper Yann Sommer expect in Milan?

On July 23, FC Bayern Munich will present its selection in the Allianz Arena. The next day, the German champions fly to Japan to take part in the “Audi Summer Tour” and start the 2023/24 Bundesliga season from August 18 to 20. At all these events, the big question is whether Yann Sommer (34) will be there.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano (30), Nati’s goalkeeper should already agree with Inter Milan, the clubs only need to agree on the transfer fee. A confirmation from the clubs is still pending, Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel (49) said in a press round: “Changing the goalkeeper position makes little sense at the moment, the situation is unclear.” He alludes to the fact that Manuel Neuer (37) may miss the start of the season.

At Champions League finalist Inter, Andre Onana (27) is a world-class goalkeeper on the verge of a bounce, while Manchester United are keen on the Cameroonian as a replacement for De Gea. And goal legend Samir Handanovic (38) will no longer be on the pitch at San Siro, the Slovenian has not extended his expiring contract. Clear the way for summer.

Big footsteps

But what awaits the Nati goalkeeper in Milan? A similar situation like in winter when you move to Bayern. Onana has the Nerazzurri led to the Champions League final, he has been one of the most important puzzle pieces in Filippo’s team all season Inzaghi (49) – and he has become a hero of the Inter-Tifosi.

Following in Onana’s footsteps is almost as difficult as Manuel Neuer’s. As in Munich, expectations are high in Milan, wanting to return to the top of Serie A and attack again in the Champions League after last year’s success. So this will not be a Sunday walk for the Swiss. The good thing is that he has been in this situation since he moved to Munich. He knows what it means to feel pressure from fans and the media.

Onana and Sommer have a similar playing style, with the Cameroonian at 1.90 meters having an advantage, especially on high balls. Sommer is one of the best passers in the goalkeeping position in European football. In comparison, the “Gazzetta dello Sport” praised the ability of the goalkeeper of the Swiss national team to play balls in midfield.

Tough competition from Ukraine

In addition to Yann Sommer, the Nerazzurri also want to sign a second goalkeeper. With a view to the future, the Ukrainian goalkeeper talent Anatoly Trubin (21) must come. The six-foot-tall man caused a sensation in the Champions League group stage as his saves sent Real Madrid’s attacking power into disarray. Sommer also has to be able to deal with that pressure.
