Bayern Munich: Neuer’s understudy found in Spain?

Manuel Neuer, 37, is getting closer and closer to the end of his career. His club, Bayern Munich, therefore wishes to prepare as well as possible for the future.

Injured since December 2022, the German goalkeeper saw the Bundesliga champion last season urgently recruit the Swiss Yann Sommer, in January 2023, to end the season without him. But the 34-year-old goalkeeper has apparently not conquered the management of the Bavarian club, since the Swiss international with 83 caps is approaching the exit, and in particular of Inter, who should lose Andre Onana shortly.

A Moroccan to succeed Neuer?

Interested in the idea of ​​​​recruiting a new goalkeeper, both to double the post, compete with Manuel Neuer and ensure his succession, Bayern Munich is thinking of Yassine Bounou. According to media reports Report, the 32-year-old Moroccan is not expected to stay in Seville this summer. Substitute during the second part of last season, after a brilliant World Cup with his country, the doorman had already been considered by the German club in recent months.

OM, too, had been linked to the former Atlético Madrid and Girona goalkeeper. Under contract with the Spanish formation until 2025, Yassin Bounou is estimated by the site Transfermarkt at 12 million euros.

A German on the way out

In 2020, Bayern Munich signed Alexander Nübel, who looked set to be Manuel Neuer’s successor. But the 26-year-old German, who did not want to wait behind the Nationalmannschaft legend, left Bayern a year later, on loan, for AS Monaco. Returning to Germany this summer, the doorman will leave, according to Picture.

Two teams, one of which is VfB Stuttgart, a club favored by the former Schalke 04 goalkeeper. The transfer could quickly materialize around a compensation of 8 million euros.
