Serie A giants Inter Milan have reportedly intensified their pursuit of a new goalkeeper to replace the error-prone Yann Sommer.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInter1908, the San Siro powerhouse could sign a new shot-stopper as early as January.
Yann Sommer has fallen out of favor with the club hierarchy after yet another sub-standard performance.
Indeed, the 36-year-old made a costly mistake in last night’s derby defeat to AC Milan.
In doing so, Sommer may have sealed his fate at Giuseppe Meazza.
Inter Milan on the Lookout for New Goalkeeper to Replace Yann Sommer
Sommer’s contract in Milan runs out at the end of the season.
Furthermore, the club is unwilling to offer him fresh terms, meaning he will leave San Siro as a free agent next summer.
Meanwhile, second-string keeper Josep Martinez has failed to convince the Nerazzurri to promote him to the starting lineup.
On the other hand, the 20-time Italian champions have developed a genuine interest in Cagliari star Elia Caprile.
In addition to the former Napoli ace, Inter are also keeping close tabs on in-demand Freiburg goalie Noah Atubolu.
We should be in the market for a new formation and stop the high press. What was Sommer to do when are center backs are all running back from the other side of the field?
Chivu dont have the balls to bench Sommer like Conte would.
Uhm, he did after the Juve game. But then there was an accident that changed Martinez’s fate.
To bench Sommer and play who, Martinez??!!
Despite Calha’s mistake in the buildup to the goal, Summer should know and learn not to leave the second post wide open.
What about Martinez??
Only Inter would keep a GK who conceded 5 goals in a UCL final…
Idiotic take. If Sommer was at fault for at least 2 of those 5 goals, it would make sense. But that was not the case, was it.
That said, I agree that Inter definitely needs another GK at this point. But blaming Sommer for the 5 goals in the CL final is idiotic.
He is trolling all the time.
right? Neuer conceded 6 vs Spain. and yet he is still number 1 GK for germany.
ridiculous.
Courtois conceded 4 goals vs Man City…. TWICE!! OMFG, what is Florentino Perez thinking keeping Courtois?
Did Neuer and Courtois concede these goals in a UCL final?
It seems some Inter fans never learn, they like to get humiliated!
