Inter market, Yann Sommer’s revenge changes strategies

Yann Sommer is taking his revenge. Put on the gridiron after the match with Juventus (“I made a couple of mistakes, it happens,” he admitted on Tuesday night) he has returned to his best levels, contributing to Cristian Chivu’s team’s string of successes.
The Swiss is experiencing what could be his last season with Inter. One of the hypotheses under consideration for his possible stay concerns accepting a role as second goalkeeper: his reliability has never been questioned at Appiano Gentile, now more than ever.

The Swiss player’s reliability has never been questioned at Appiano Gentile, now more than ever.

His farewell in the summer of 2026, however, is given as likely. In this scenario, Noah Atubolu emerges as the ideal profile to focus on for the future. The 23-year-old Freiburg goalkeeper is showing off in the Bundesliga with solid performances that make him a credible option for the Nerazzurri goal.

According to the German press, the Nigerian-born footballer is already considered the number one candidate to pick up the legacy of Sommer, who played in the Bundesliga for a long time at Borussia Mönchengladbach and also had a much shorter stint at Bayern Munich.

It is not a foregone conclusion, however, that the Swiss (37 years old to be turned on Dec. 17) will return to Germany: suggestive is the hypothesis corroborated by some recent rumors that he could go to end his career where he started it and that is in his homeland, between the posts of Basel.
