Man United are ‘eyeing up move for Monchengladbach keeper Yann Sommer on a free next summer’

Yann Sommer could head to Manchester United next summer on a free transfer, according to a new report.

The Swiss goalkeeper has been representing his country on its way to the knockout stages of the World Cup, away from his club Borussia Monchengladbach.

However, his contract at the Bundesliga club expires next summer and it seems increasingly likely that the 33-year-old will leave.

Now ESPN has revealed that Manchester United are working on a deal to nab Sommer on a free deal. – and you can start working on a focus from the beginning of the next month.

United manager Erik ten Hag is considering renewing his goalkeeping options at the club, with doubts over David de Gea’s long-term future at Old Trafford, despite having played over 500 games for the Red Devils.

De Gea is the first-choice goalkeeper at Man United, but his recent form has left him out of Spain’s World Cup squad.

After 12 years with the club, De Gea’s contract also expires at the end of the season, and Man United have yet to extend the deal despite that option being available to them.

Loan goalkeeper Martin Dubravka will return to Newcastle United next summer, while Ten Hag will welcome Dean Henderson, who is currently on loan at Nottingham Forest.

Sommer played in Switzerland’s first two World Cup games last month, conceding just once, as well as their 6-1 loss to Portugal that saw them knocked out in the round of 16.

The experienced goalkeeper has made 80 appearances for his national team, as well as more than 270 appearances for his German club since joining from Basel in 2014.

Borussia Mönchengladbach currently sits eighth in the Bundesliga. Despite Germany’s early exit from the World Cup, their main league doesn’t return until January 22.

Sommer could be tempted to go to Old Trafford in search of European football next season.
