Inter Milan and Bayern Munich are still negotiating for the transfer of goalkeeper Yann Sommer, but haven’t yet reached an agreement.
This according to German journalist Florian Plettenburg, who updated on the situation on his Twitter account.
Inter have now been hovering over Sommer for a number of days without making a decisive move to sign the 34-year-old.
The Nerazzurri have wanted to wrap up a deal for Sommer quickly after selling Andre Onana to Manchester United.
The fact that Inter captain Samir Handanovic has also left the club means that the Nerazzurri are currently without a starting-quality senior goalkeeper in their squad.
Inter have failed in their objective of signing Sommer before their preseason tour of Japan. They are currently in the country, but have not yet signed the Swiss.
Accordingly, the Nerazzurri have been relying on young options like Filip Stankovic in Japan.
Reports have suggested that the negotiations for Sommer’s transfer between Inter and Bayern are in a very advanced stage.
But as of yet, the Swiss is still a Bayern player.
Inter Milan & Bayern Munich Still Negotiating For Yann Sommer – No Agreement Found Yet
According to Plettenberg, the situation remains the same – the clubs are still in negotiations.
One of the key aspects of the deal will likely be Bayern finding a replacement for Sommer.
At the moment, Bayern captain Manuel Neuer is still out with an injury. The exact timeline for the 37-year-old’s return is still something of a question mark.
According to Plettenberg, a prime candidate to replace Sommer as Neuer’s deputy is Brentford keeper David Raya.
However, at the moment, Bayern have no starting-quality keeper besides Neuer.
Plettenberg also reported on the probable fee for Sommer to join Inter.
Have asked Yann #Sommer about the possible transfer to @Inter: „I don’t want to say something about it. Now I am here with FC Bayern. But it was already reported a few days about it. We will see how it goes on.“

He anticipates that the deal will be done for a fee of around €5-6 million.
