Bayern Munich: a French club involved in the succession of Neuer?

Bayern Munich have been looking since the start of the winter transfer window to replace Manuel Neuer, who was seriously injured on vacation and will not play again this season. But recruiting a holder from another club is a complex thing, as the Bavarian club notes.

As the question of Manuel Neuer’s future in football arises, Bayern Munich want, for now, to replace the 36-year-old German until the end of the season. And only until then. Despite reports to the contrary, it is the Swiss Yann Sommer who is the clear favorite to succeed Manuel Neuer, while Sven Ulreich (34), the replacement for the club captain, is not considered a number 1 in power by the management of the Bundesliga leader.

On loan to AS Monaco, Alexander Nübel has been considered, but the former goalkeeper will not return to Munich. The goalkeeper says to himself “happy” in the Principality, which leaves the way clear to Yann Sommer. Problem, Borussia Mönchengladbach, who is asking for the sum of 8 million euros from Bayern Munich, wants to find the replacement for the 34-year-old goalkeeper before letting him slip away.

Montpellier, the solution in the file?

According to the revelations of Picture, Borussia Mönchengladbach, 8th in the German championship, is currently negotiating with Montpellier to attract the Swiss Jonas Omlin. The 29-year-old, who arrived at the MHSC in 2020, is having a complicated season with the 15th in Ligue 1, beaten 6-1 (by Nice) and 3-0 (by Nantes) in these last two games.

According to Picture, the French club is claiming 7 to 10 million euros for Jonas Omlin, international with 4 selections. A slightly excessive sum, while the Swiss has a contract until June 2024 with Montpellier. The Hérault club will not make it difficult to sell its titular goalkeeper, but M’Gladbach must pay the price, which the German team refuses to do, for the moment.

Which annoys, at the end of the chain, Bayern Munich.
