Yann Sommer, the Swiss goalkeeper, has aroused the interest of two important clubs in the Spanish League. Despite having reached Bayern Munich in January as an emergency replacement for Manuel Neuer, the Swiss goalkeeper could be looking for a new destination this summer if the German keeper makes a full recovery and takes his starting job for next season.
In January, Bayern Munich secured the services of Yann Sommer as a precaution due to the injury of Manuel Neuer, who will be sidelined until the summer. Since then, the former Borussia Mönchengladbach player has played 24 official matches with the Bavarian team.
The 2 Spanish clubs that want to sign Yan Sommer
Recently, German media revealed that the contract signed between Sommer and Bayern includes a clause that allows him to break the link in the event of being relegated to the substitution by Neuer. Although the recovery of the experienced German goalkeeper remains unknown, everything indicates that once he overcomes his physical problems, he will resume his position as starter.
Faced with this situation, two clubs in Spain have shown interest in Sommer. As Kicker reports, Valencia, Villarreal and Leicester City they would be willing to welcome the Swiss goalkeeper in case he decides to have a change of scenery.
-Valencia: In Valencia’s case, Sommer would fit in as a replacement for Giorgi Mamardashvili, who has already generated interest from several clubs. However, the Valencian proposal will depend on ensuring his permanence in the First Division.
-Villarreal: For his part, Villarreal would consider Sommer an excellent acquisition, since after the departure of Gero Rulli to Ajax in Amsterdam, they have been forced to depend on veteran Pepe Reina, who also ends his contract on June 30.
Yann Sommer’s future is up in the air, and Spanish clubs are closely monitoring his situation. If Neuer regains his starting status at Bayern Munich, the Swiss goalkeeper is likely to look for new horizons, and both Valencia and Villarreal would be delighted to have his services. The transfer market will be key in determining Sommer’s ultimate fate and whether he will eventually join any of these Spanish clubs looking for new challenges in his career.
