"Yann Sommer is one of the most underrated goalkeepers in Europe. Not the biggest, but how he can play football. Not many goalies can do that." Sommer is friends with tennis legend Roger Federer, who was born in Basel and remains an avid supporter of the club. "We're from the same city and we've developed a good relationship. Yann works hard every day to stay at the same level or even push further forward in some areas. The 6'0" stopper has since established himself as one of the league's best in his position, consistently ranking among the top five for most saves. We Swiss are really proud of him, and what he does for our country. He went on to win four league titles and the Swiss Cup with Basel, keeping 65 clean sheets in 170 appearances, before making the move to Gladbach in the summer of 2014.
Bayern Munich have completed a deal to sign Yann Sommer from Borussia Monchengladbach after No.1 goalkeeper Manuel Neuer broke his leg.
WHAT THEY SAID?: Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn highlighted Sommer as a key signing: "Yann Sommer is a valuable addition for us, because he has a wealth of international experience and has already played in the Bundesliga for many years," Kahn said. THE BIGGER PICTURE: Bayern were in dire need of a new goalkeeper after Neuer's injury. The add-ons will be achieved if Bayern win the Champions League, with Sommer having penned a two-year contract to play for Julian Nagelsmann's side.

Bundesliga resumes after two months of World Cup break. Here is the head-to-head record of RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich.
Leipzig and Dortmund are now the new challengers in the league that can break Bayern Munich’s hegemony. The momentous occasion occurred in 2018 when Leipzig was suffering a disastrous season and their upcoming game was against Munich. Still, [RB Leipzig’s](https://khelnow.com/tag/rb-leipzig/) quick ascent from the fifth division to the Bundesliga suggests that the club has emerged as the most popular team in the German League.
SportsLine's Martin Green has locked in his German Bundesliga picks and best bets for RB Leipzig vs. Bayern Munich on Friday.
- Bayern Munich vs. Green has broken down the German Bundesliga match from every angle. Silva tallied in a 3-2 setback against the FCB last season while Forsberg converted versus the club in a 3-3 draw the previous campaign. The 25-year-old Laimer has yet to get on the scoresheet this campaign but recorded four goals and four assists in 26 contests in 2021-22, with one of the tallies coming in a 4-1 loss to Bayern. However, Leipzig could receive a boost from Austrian midfielder Konrad Laimer, who is expected to play in his fifth match of the season and first since September. The FCB are the -124 favorites (risk $124 to win $100) in the latest Bayern Munich vs. A total of 13 players have converted for the FCB this campaign, with nine registering multiple goals. The club has netted at least four tallies on six occasions and recorded a season-high seven in a victory against VfL Bochum on Aug. Bayern have been an offensive juggernaut, scoring a whopping 49 goals in 15 matches, and also lead the league with an astonishing plus-36 goal differential. Green is 14-7 on his soccer picks in 2023 after going 23-23-1 on his World Cup picks and crushing his tournament predictions on the Early Edge. Bayern have recorded four wins and four draws in the last eight league meetings between the teams. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide.

I’m proud that I'm now a part of FC Bayern," said Sommer said as he thanked Borussia Monchengladbach, where he spent more than eight years. "I'm very excited about the new challenge at FC Bayern.
Julian Nagelsmann already knows what his team will look like this season.
Louis van Gaal established that rule back in 2010 and every coach who breaks it ends up on the way out. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting was explicitly confirmed to be a starter, and Jamal Musiala and Leroy Sane are too valuable to leave out of the lineup at the moment. The starting XI vs Leipzig could also give us a clue to who will play vs PSG, so it’s one to keep an eye on. In his pregame press conference, the coach said that six out of eleven starting spots were already decided. [Bayern Munich](https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com) last played a proper game, but the wait is finally over. While only 3rd place in the table, they had the 2nd best recent form going into the World Cup.
Yann Sommer is Bayern Munich's newest signing. The keeper comes from Borussia Monchengladbach in an €8m deal following the leg injury to Manuel Neuer, Bayern's ...
“Because of how much this club owes him, we explored the possibility of meeting his wishes, which we have been able to do for an acceptable fee and under the condition that we find an adequate replacement for him immediately. This season, he has 14 caps for the French side and has kept three clean sheets. Oliver Kahn, Bayern's CEO said: “Yann Sommer is a valuable addition for us, because he has a wealth of international experience and has already played in the Bundesliga for many years. I’m hugely looking forward to starting here with my new teammates, and to everything that is to come. The signing does not come as a surprise, given that Manuel Neuer, Bayern's current number one keeper, is out for the season. We’re certain we can achieve our goals with Yann Sommer.”
Memphis Depay, Dango Ouattara, Leandro Trossard and Danny Ings could also move.
The Hammers have offered nearly $15 million and Ings is now open to the move -- Thursday could be decisive in the deal. The New Zealand international has agreed to the move and now the two clubs are on the same page. [Inter Milan CEO Giuseppe Marotta on Milan Skriniar's expiring contract and Paris Saint-Germain interest](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1615784668443418624): "We are now waiting for him to decide his future, we are not in a rush. Lecomte himself can relaunch his career with a few good years left in a stable environment in an opportunity created by the business chain created by Bayern and Nubel who will stay in the principality -- for now. After Luis Suarez and Antoine Griezmann, Depay is the next Barcelona player to swap Catalonia for the capital. The Belgium international is in advanced talks with an official offer ready and personal terms already agreed. [Nottingham Forest are close to signing Newcastle United's Chris Wood on loan with an option to buy](https://twitter.com/TheAthleticFC/status/1615757730131607557). The Switzerland international is expected to make his move to Bavaria official this Thursday after completing his medical. Sommer's move lands Borussia Monchengladbach at least $8.5 million with the potential to top $10 million which is superb business considering that his contract was expiring this summer. Sommer's replacement at BORUSSIA-PARK will be his compatriot and international positional rival who arrives from Montpellier in France's Ligue 1. The Swiss himself gets to challenge himself at an elite club where he could realistically keep the injured Manuel Neuer out beyond the second half of this season which is now his as an undisputed starter. What's better than a cup of coffee and the latest soccer transfer news?
Bayern Munich have signed Yann Sommer from Borussia Monchengladbach to replace injured Manuel Neuer, the German champions said on Thursday.

It has been reported that Bayern Munich are weighing up a move for Chelsea forward Kai Havertz next summer.
The 23-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Bayern while he was at Bayer Leverkusen, so it is hardly a surprise that they would still hold an interest in him. Given how his time at Stamford Bridge has gone, it would not be a shock if Havertz looked to return to a league he has flourished in before. Bayern are hopeful of doing a deal for a fee somewhere between £35-£52 million, though it remains to be seen if the Blues are willing to sanction an exit for Havertz and what the fee would be if they are.

Weekend Warm-up: Bayern Munich creates its own Game of Thrones at goalkeeper; Throwing it back to “Crackerman” by Stone Temple Pilots; Thoughts on The Last of ...
As much as I have some doubt about how this will all work for Bayern Munich in the second half of the season, this match feels like a win...or at least a draw. I love to be completely “wowed” by the premiere of a series, but I do acknowledge that not every show is capable of doing that for various reasons. A lot of talent, but also a lot of uncertainty. - There are obviously a lot of unanswered questions about how things evolved from the outbreak in Austin, Texas to a makeshift dystopian society in Boston, Massachusetts. - The one thing that The Last of Us did was show that immediate frenzy after the outbreak really starts. Granted, I really liked how The Walking Dead tackled its reveal, but this was a good, effective way to let the audience know this was going to be a different type of zombie story. - As always, I try to enter a new series with very little knowledge of it if there is an established story already. Needless to say, we have A LOT on our minds about the biggest news pieces of the week. Back in 1993 or so, Stone Temple Pilots became a fixture on Philadelphia’s rock and alternative rock stations (which were plentiful back in the day). The timetable for Neuer’s return is also a bit murky. Sommer was the best answer for the question on how to best proceed this season, but what happens moving forward? Alexander Nübel, the club’s anointed “goalkeeper of the future”, had both logistical trouble and a lack of desire to leave AS Monaco early from his loan assignment.
Bayern Munich are reportedly keeping tabs on Chelsea star Kai Havertz ahead of a potential move for the German star in the summer.
The weekend presents an interesting opportunity for them as they face a Liverpool side who have also struggled to find form recently. “You can’t just sign players to replace those because then you’d have a squad of 30 and that is a problem. Along with Havertz, several other Chelsea stars now face an uncertain future at the club. As they seek out their next forward, a move for Havertz could make sense. Since his move to Stamford Bridge in 2020, Havertz has been a real opinion splitter. Across 118 appearances for Chelsea, Havertz has scored 29 goals.
Bayern travel to third-placed RB Leipzig minus World Cup stars and key players looking out of sorts.
In addition to Sommer, Bayern have this month brought in the experienced Dutchman Daley Blind, a free transfer from Ajax and a like-for-like replacement for Hernandez in that he can play at full-back or centre-back. But just as Nagelsmann was contemplating how Mazraoui might capably cover for Hernandez on the left of Bayern’s back line, he was diagnosed with complications following Covid-19. Sommer, who would have been out of contract in June and has cost an initial €8 million, can at least be optimistic his first club match since the World Cup goes better than his last game at that tournament, Seven Bayern players went to the tournament in ex-Bayern coach Hansi Flick’s party; German football has spent much of that period soul-searching after the national side, World Cup winners in 2014, After all, its World Cup, staged in November and December, left the German champions with a number of headaches.
Tigres Femenil will face Bayern Munich in the first ever Copa Amazonas as Mexico's domestic women's game continues to turn heads.
“I would dig into the French, the English, the Spanish leagues and start to look at, 'Is it Barca or is it Atletico Madrid?' Because that's where I want to have a bit of the ball and maybe that's going to be the challenge we're facing. “Which means we all have to be on the same page. So far, that’s served Tigres well in Mexico and turned plenty of heads in the United States. “We got to connect with our community and our fandom there and, in fact, grow it, which was always one of the objectives,” Moscato tells GOAL. We're just beginning the Copa Amazonas and I think it's going to develop as we go.” “We are eager to show the world what Tigres Femenil is,” Valenzuela explains. One of Tigres’ goals for 2026 is to “become the preferred Mexican women’s team in the United States”. I think the globe gets a gauge.” These fixtures and relationships help the club “understand” the U.S. “As a club, we have always tried to do things differently, thinking outside the box,” Carlos Valenzuela, the commercial vice-president of Tigres, tells GOAL. Within a few weeks of arriving at the club, Moscato would lead her team out in one of its international experiences as they visited Angel City. It’s little surprise that the Monterrey-based club is the one to build something like this.

Trailing the leaders by six points in the table, this was a game Marco Rose’s side could ill afford to lose, so they will be happy the result. RB Leipzig, however, emerged as a side transformed after the break, playing with purpose and verve, and they were well worth their point in the end. However, having failed to win any of their last eight league matches against the Bavarian giants, their record against Bayern Munich was a concern. What’s more, they have the best home record in the Bundesliga this season, so this was built up to be a challenging game for Nagelsmann’s charges.

He grabbed himself an assist, albeit a slightly fortunate one, on his team's only goal and was a constant threat down the right. Leipzig enjoyed a stronger passage of play to open the second half, though, and were rewarded with Marcel Halstenberg poking home from short range to equalise.

Most importantly, it was the kind of goal that you wonder if any of the other forwards on Bayern’s roster currently could have scored. He had the physicality to get there, the intelligence to position himself perfectly, and the deftness to nudge his shot past Leipzig keeper Janis Blaswich (filling in for the injured Hungarian international, Péter Gulácsi). Like everyone else, Kimmich was just getting warmed up again after a long midseason break, but settled into his groove over the course of the game. In the early going, this didn’t look a smooth switch. A strong if not overpowering day back at the office for both of Bayern’s pivot players. He may have not been in favor in Louis van Gaal’s back three setup for Netherlands at the World Cup, but the center-back has been massive for Bayern in Julian Nagelsmann’s back four.
