Bayern Munich have signed Switzerland goalkeeper Yann Sommer from Borussia Moenchengladbach to replace injured Manuel Neuer, the German champions said on Thursday. The 34-year-old Swiss signed a contract to 2025 ending a weeks-long frantic search by Bayern for a goalkeeper following Neuer's injury.
Germany keeper Neuer broke a leg during a skiing holiday in December and underwent surgery, ruling him out for the rest of the season. The 34-year-old Sommer, who helped Switzerland past the group stage in last month's World Cup, has been at Gladbach since 2014 and has played in the Champions League with both Basel and Gladbach.
Bayern, who lead the Bundesliga standings by four points ahead of their season restart against RB Leipzig on Friday, face Paris St Germain in the Champions League knockout stage next month.
