Inter Milan and Bayern Munich are set to engage in a “crucial” round of talks regarding the potential move of Swiss shot-stopper, Yann Sommer. These negotiations are expected to be the “final” push to secure the deal, with both clubs keen to reach an agreement for the goalkeeper.
Inter Milan Closing in on Yann Sommer
Italian Giants Set for Crucial Round of Talks
The recent departure of goalkeeper Andre Onana to Manchester United for a reported fee of around £50 million has left Inter Milan in search of a suitable replacement. Sommer, who has long been on Inter’s radar, has emerged as a “priority” to fill the void between the posts.
Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Sommer’s desire for the move is clear, making negotiations with the Serie A giants smoother.
Bayern May Lose Him Due to ‘Exit Clause’
Crucially, Sommer’s contract reportedly contains an “exit clause” that allows him to leave for the “same fee” that Bayern invested to secure his services just back in January. This clause could play a significant role in facilitating the transfer negotiations between the two clubs.
Inter are looking to reinforce their goalkeeping department. They have expressed interest in not just Sommer but also Anatolij Trubin, according to Romano. The Italian club aims to replace the departing duo of Onana and Samir Handanovic. A fee of around £5 million is the expected price tag.
