According to media reports, Inter are about to officially offer Bayern goalkeeper Sommer. If Inter successfully sign Sommer, the Swiss international may become the Nerazzurri's main goalkeeper for the new season. After Onana joined Manchester United, why Inter chose Sommer, let's analyze it together.
1. Strong door line technology, excellent prejudgment and position selection ability
Sommer is 183cm tall and is not outstanding among goalkeepers. The Swiss international relies more on judging the path of the ball in advance and choosing the best position to defend. So, we can often see Sommer making incredible saves in the game, while the Swiss national has long been among the top in the league in terms of success rate.
2. Rich experience and good performance in the competition
Sommer joined Bundesliga side Borussia Mönchen in 2014 and moved to Bayern Munich in the winter window last season, replacing the injured Neuer as the team's main goalkeeper, helping Nandai King successfully defend the Bundesliga title. Although Bayern were eliminated by Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Sommer's performance was remarkable. In 2012, Sommer was selected for the Swiss national team for the first time and participated in the 2018 World Cup, Euro 2020 and 2022 World Cup, performing well.
3. A win-win choice
2024 is the year of the European Cup, Bayern cannot secure Sommer's number one goalkeeper position after Neuer's return, and Inter can promise Sommer the main position. According to media reports, Sommer's termination fee is 6 million euros. Inter hope to sign for Switzerland for less than the release fee through good relations with Bayern. Compared to another Inter goalkeeper Trubin (the psychological price of the Miner Club is rumored to be as high as 30 million euros), Somer's value for money is undoubtedly more advantageous.
The 34-year-old Sommer can maintain his peak for at least a few years, and Inter can take the opportunity to scout more goalkeepers and complete the replacement of the team's main goalkeeper. Personally, I think that Sommer may be Inter's best choice after Onana's departure. What do you think, Nera?
