What speaks against a transfer: should Yann Sommer stay with champions Bayern?

class=”sc-29f61514-0 kHgAwW”>

There is probably no other Swiss footballer who has been the subject of more puns in recent years than Yann Sommer (34). When he eliminates sensationally against France in the quarter-finals of the European Championship Switzerland, it is a summer fairy tale. If he spends his holidays in the sun – as is the case now – then … well, it doesn’t matter.

Now there is talk of a possible summer transfer! Because Manuel Neuer (37), the five-time world goalkeeper and 2014 world champion, is about to return to Bayern. Is that why the Swiss national goalkeeper changes clubs?

That Sommer will probably not get a fair chance – and will force a departure with regard to the EM 2021 in Germany – speaks for a transfer. With Toni Tapalovic (42), Neuer’s best man is about to return as goalkeeper coach. Head coach Thomas Tuchel (49) has hinted between the lines several times that he will fully rely on Neuer in the future.

Keeper’s market as antithesis

The goalkeeper market speaks out against a summer transfer. It is at odds with the totally overheated football business. Only when a domino falls somewhere does the carousel start turning. At Chelsea, for example, they are not happy with the duo Kepa / Mendy. Valencia goalie Giorgi Mamardashvili (22) and Inter goalkeeper André Onana (27) are mentioned as possible alternatives. According to various media reports, Villarreal and Premier League relegated Leicester are also looking for a keeper. Only two of the top international goalkeepers currently have an expiring contract. Man Utd keeper David De Gea (32) and David Soria (30) of Getafe. A path leads to Monaco. There they do not want to extend the lease with Bayern man Alexander Nübel (26). Will the first stone fall soon?

Or will summer stay in Munich after all? After winning the championship, the Swiss national goalkeeper said that he had not thought about his future at the moment. Sommer’s contract runs until 2025, Neuer’s until 2024.

It is also about a lot of money

The ‘kicker’ writes that Bayern Sommer would not stand in the way of a possible transfer. Only: the 34-year-old cost the German record champion about eight million francs in the winter. You don’t let the Swiss go for free. In addition, no one knows how strong Neuer will come back after breaking his lower leg. Sommer is also unlikely to stink as a possible number 2. The old Gladbach goalkeeper is too professional.

And also realistic enough to accept that in this case he would have to give up his regular place in the Swiss national team. To his designated successor, BVB goalie Gregor Kobel (25), who has been very strong this season.
