With Yann Sommer seemingly set to replace André Onana at Inter Milan, Bayern Munich someone to play in goal while Manuel Neuer recovers.
That man, according to the media, could be Brentford’s David Raya, who has become a target for the Bavarians.
In fact, a deal appears to be advanced, as the latest report from Gazzetta dello Sport claims a move for the Brentford star could get done fairly swiftly.
They write that Bayern Munich have ‘opted’ for the Bees goalkeeper to replace Yann Sommer who, if the deal goes through, will head straight to Osaka in Japan to team up with his new Inter squad mates.
The Switzerland international is said to have thanked Thomas Tuchel for the opportunity, but has made it clear his time in Bavaria is over.
He wants to join Inter, and Bayern have told him that he can take it easy as ‘he will be satisfied to everyone’s satisfaction’.
That is why a bit of patience is needed, but the go-ahead could arrive as early as ‘tomorrow’, because it’s reported that the Germans are ‘about to enlist’ David Raya from Brentford.
Described as ‘one of the revelations’ of the last Premier League season, the fact he has not renewed with the Bees makes a transfer easier, which is why he has ‘attracted illustrious attentions’.
