Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer’s transfer to Bayern has been confirmed.
The Swiss media, including “Blick,” is reporting the news all at once.
Sommer has been linked with a move to Bayern for some time.
Bayern’s goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer, has been the absolute best defender of the club, but Sommer suffered a serious fracture in his lower leg while skiing in the off-season. His return to the team this season is now doomed.
In response to this situation, Bayern considered various options, including recalling German goalkeeper Alexander Neubel, who is on loan at Monaco. Sommer’s name had emerged as an option.
Bayern presented two separate offers, but Borussia MG refused to budge. But now, according to reports, Bayern and Borussia MG have finally reached an agreement. Bayern made a third offer of 8 million euros (about 1.1 billion yen) plus a bonus of 1.5 million euros (about 210 million yen). They gradually increased the transfer fee and eventually reached an agreement. The contract is expected to last two and a half years, until the summer of 2025.
Borussia MG, meanwhile, is also preparing for the departure of Sommer by trying to acquire Montpellier’s Swiss goalkeeper Jonas Omlin. The two clubs have already reached a verbal agreement on a contract until June 30, 2027, and have also reached an inter-club agreement for 7 million euros (about ¥970 million). After securing a replacement, the club had given the go-ahead for Sommer’s transfer.
According to the German media outlet Bild, Sommer has already arrived in Munich. According to Bild, Sommer has already arrived in Munich, where he will undergo a medical checkup on January 19, after which he will officially sign a contract. The Bundesliga resumes this weekend, with Bayern taking on Leipzig on the 20th. Depending on the procedure going forward, Bayern is looking to have Sommer guard the goalmouth for the game, according to Blick.
Sommer, now 34, joined Borussia MG in the summer of 2014. He immediately took over the guardianship and was Borussia MG’s tail end for nine seasons. Although he has missed some games this season due to injury, he has made 10 appearances as of the end of the 15th round of the Bundesliga season. He has been a key member of Borussia MG’s defense, along with Japan’s Itakura Koh and others.
