It has been speculated for some time whether Yann Sommer will stay at Borussia Mönchengladbach or leave the club he has been a member of since 2014 in the summer after his contract expires. German Sport Bild claims that the Swiss representative is on the verge of leaving Borussia Park and that Manchester United is interested; that is, they see him as a replacement for David de Gea, who will also be a free agent in six months.Believing the German media, one cannot help but look back at the strange decisions of the Red Devils regarding goalkeeping strategy. More than two years ago, they brought back Dean Henderson from Sheffield on loan and marked him as the club’s future between the posts. However, he appearad in the competitive 2020/21 for only 13 games before De Gea took over again, and then they kept the young Englishman on the bench for the whole of last season, only to finally let him go on a new loan to Nottingham Forest last summer.##NAJAVA_MECA_6865806##De Gea remained the first goalkeeper, the summer before last, the temporary Tom Heaton arrived as a back-up option, and a few months ago, Slovakian Martin Dubravka. And now United are considering replacing the 32-year-old De Gea with the 33-year-old Sommer. The Swiss is a great goalkeeper and when he has his day, few can send the ball behind him. However, the goalkeeper, who made as many as 19 saves in the derby against Bayern this season, is not a long-term solution.At Gladbach they say that they are ready for any scenario.”We are carefully analyzing and considering all options and we are prepared for whatever happens,” said Bundesliga member sports director Roland Virkus about the case of the goalkeeper who has been with the club since the middle of the last decade and has 335 performs for the Colts.🚨 Manchester United would like to sign Yann Sommer as their number 2 goalkeeper to put pressure on David De Gea to perform.(Source: @AndreasBoeni) pic.twitter.com/XTTIXlk1dM— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) August 17, 2022 If Sommer leaves Borussia, the club will not look for a replacement. Absolute trust will be shown to the 24-year-old German Jan Olschowsky, who was between the posts in two games this season and who left a great impression against Dortmund.Sommer has not defended for Gladbach since October and the defeat against Darmstadt in which he injured the wrist ligaments, but we saw him in the first two matches at the World Cup against Cameroon and Brazil, while he missed the decisive duel with Serbia due to health problems. He is expected to return between the posts tomorrow in the round of 16 clash with Portugal.
