However, Gladbach will only give the green light in winter if the ‘foals’ have found a suitable successor for the Swiss World Cup goalkeeper. Moreover, coach Daniel Farke wants to keep his goalkeeper for the second half of the season, Sommer’s working document expires at the end of the season.
Sommer agrees with FC Bayern, but Borussia Mönchengladbach want to keep him
Gladbach « has no intention of giving it up in any way, » Farke told ‘Sport1’ recently. It’s true that “crazy things can always happen”, but “there must be very, very good reasons for wanting to give up such a quality player. On the contrary, we want to extend the contract with Yann. There will then be discussions in due course. We have one of the best goalkeepers in Europe under contract and we play ambitiously. We need Yann Sommer for that.
Munich are looking for a replacement for national goalkeeper Manuel Neuer (36), who will be out for the rest of the season with a broken leg. The planned return of Alexander Nübel (26), currently on loan to AS Monaco, has met with resistance. The fee for the summer is around 5 million euros.
