In addition to Yann Sommer and Alexander Nübel, Bayern are examining other options on the transfer market, looking for a replacement for Manuel Neuer.
FC Bayern has tried in vain in recent weeks to sign Yann Sommer and Alexander Nübel as replacements for Manuel Neuer. As has now become known, those responsible in Munich are examining further options.
The Bundesliga starts the second half of the season in five days. Bayern have to go away to RB Leipzig for the restart. It is currently unclear who will be in Munich’s goal next Friday.
In the test match against Salzburg (4:4), Sven Ulreich and young goalkeeper Johannes Schenk were each allowed to play a half. According to Julian Nagelsmann, however, this is not a sustainable solution. The 35-year-old made it clear that Bayern definitely need to sign a new goalkeeper in winter.
Bayern want to take control of the action again
Bayern have had to be patient over the past few days. With both Yann Sommer and Alexander Nübel, the Munich team depend on the goodwill of other clubs. As of today, however, neither Nübel nor Sommer seem to get a chance. Both AS Monaco and Borussia M’Gladbach do not want to give their goalkeepers clearance for a winter transfer.
Again table football-Reporter Georg Holzner reports, the Bayern bosses no longer want to wait for positive feedback from Mönchengladbach or Monaco and are now taking matters into their own hands again. Accordingly, Bayern are examining another candidate, a so-called “Keeper X”. However, the journal did not name any specific names. However, with the signing of Daley Blind, Hasan Salihamidzic & Co. have shown that you are quite capable of landing a surprise transfer.
Julian Nagelsmann is also hoping for a happy ending when looking for a goalkeeper: “As of today, Sven Ulreich will be in goal against Leipzig. But I don’t know what else will happen next week,” he emphasized IMAGE. In any case, the people of Munich don’t have much time left.
