Inter Milan are accelerating in talks to sign both Yann Sommer and Anatoliy Trubin to replace Man United bound Andre Onana.
This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, who report that the Nerazzurri are pushing to get deals for Bayern Munich’s Yann Sommer and Shakhtar Donetsk’s Anatoliy Trubin over the line.
Inter and Manchester United will shortly complete a deal for Andre Onana.
The agreement is all there and the Cameroonian should complete his medicals and sign his contract at Old Trafford soon.
Now, the Nerazzurri are already hard at work on signing replacements for the Cameroonian as well as captain Samir Handanovic.
Bayern keeper Yann Sommer is top of Inter’s list in terms of an experienced keeper.
The Nerazzurri have been advancing in talks for the 34-year-old Swiss international. The player is ready to sign a four-year deal, and Bayern are very much open to the deal.
The fact that Bayern captain Manuel Neuer’s recovery from injury has been delayed longer than expected presented a slight hitch.
However, the German are in any event going after Valencia’s Giorgi Mamardashvili. As they firm up their pursuit of the German, they will happily wrap up talks with Inter for Sommer.
Bayern could even sell Sommer for less than his €4 million release clause now that Mamardashvili is in the frame.
Inter Milan Not Content With Just Sommer & Advance For Trubin After Completing Onana Deal
Sommer is not the only goalkeeper Inter want to sign.
For a younger profile, Shakhtar keeper Anatoliy Trubin has long looked to be the Nerazzurri’s priority.
The fact remains that Inter are still far away from Shakhtar on a fee for the 21-year-old.
But Inter feel that they can chip away at the Ukrainians’ asking price.
Trubin’s contract running out at the end of next June means that this is Shakhtar’s last opportunity to cash in. Inter expect this to motivate the Ukrainian club to make a sale.
As for Trubin himself, he is keen to join Inter and has agreed personal terms on a five-year deal.
