Manuel Neuer will miss the rest of the season.
FC Bayern Munich is therefore looking for a replacement and could strike at a World Cup star.
Munich – It was a real shock when Manuel Neuer's injury became public.
The FC Bayern Munich goalkeeper broke his lower leg while skiing and will not be able to play another game this season.
A heavy blow for the German record champions, as hna.de summarizes, because especially in the knockout phase of the Champions League, a world-class keeper is needed to achieve the ambitious goals.
FC Bayern Munich: Neuer is out for a long time
“Hey guys, what can I say, the end of the year could definitely have gone better.
While I was trying to clear my head while ski touring, I broke my lower leg.
Yesterday's surgery went very well.
Many thanks to the medical team!
However, it hurts to know that the current season is over for me.
Take care of yourselves!
Your Manuel,” wrote the FC Bayern Munich goalkeeper himself on his Instagram channel.
According to information from the pay TV broadcaster
Sky
, it is completely impossible that FC Bayern Munich will only go into the second half of the season with Sven Ulreich and young goalkeeper Johannes Schenk.
Ulreich is a solid goalkeeper who has replaced Manuel Neuer several times, but even on a very good day he can't quite match Neuer's quality.
Bayern Munich: Is Livakovic coming?
One option is a return campaign by Alexander Nübel, who is on loan at AS Monaco.
But what happens when Neuer is fit again in the summer?
Nübel recently said that he would not sit on the bench behind the multiple world goalkeeper.
Rumor has it that the new man between the posts could also be Dominik Livakovic.
As the Croatian portal
Gol
reports, Livakovic is a candidate at Bayern Munich.
Oliver Kahn, who was in the stadium live for the quarter-final duel between Croatia and Brazil, was able to get a personal impression of the keeper.
The goalkeeper, who is tied to Dinamo Zagreb until 2024, has a market value of 8.5 million euros.
Due to the strong performances in Qatar, however, this will increase quite a bit.
Meanwhile, FC Bayern Munich and FC Chelsea could carry out a player swap.
It's about two World Cup participants.
