Yann Sommer | FC Bayern München |
German transfer expert Christian Falk of Sport Bild reports that Manchester United may wish to complete a piece of double business with the German record champions, signing Austrian loan-out Marcel Sabitzer and picking up Sommer at the same time. According to Falk, Bayern seek a simple recoup of the €8 million they spent on Sommer and could settle on around €20 million for Sabitzer.
✅ Manchester United is still interested in Yann Sommer. There's a gentlemen's agreement between Bayern and Sommer that if Manuel Neuer will be back as number one, the club would allow the Swiss goalkeeper to leave in summer
