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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

Report: Bayern Munich 'Watching' Kai Havertz (Sports Illustrated)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
