Let’s see some of the transfer news around the football world.
Bayern director confirms interest in Yann Sommer
Hasan Salihamidzic, the sporting director at Bayern Munich, discloses that the German powerhouses are considering signing Yann Sommer.
The unforeseen injury to Manuel Neuer following the World Cup shocked the Bavarians. The seasoned goalie will be out until the end of the season after breaking his leg while on holiday.
Bayern has begun looking for a substitute as they again prepare to play next Friday. According to reports, Bayern’s first preference was to recall Alexander Nubel back from his loan at Monaco.
The Bundesliga champions have since changed their attention to acquiring Sommer.
Salihamidzic told Sky Sports when asked if the team was thinking about signing the Swiss international, “I don’t enjoy talking about players of other clubs, but it’s obviously a topic, of course. We have our options under consideration and will decide soon.”
Bayern would have a dependable goalkeeper through the end of the season if Sommer were to be signed. But it will probably persuade Nubel to stay permanently in Monaco at the year’s end.
