One of the most conspicuous goalkeepers in the World Cup is apparently moving into the focus of FC Bayern Munich after Manuel Neuer's absence.
Munich – After Manuel Neuer's serious skiing accident, FC Bayern is looking for a replacement.
As confirmed by Alexander Nübel's advisor, the record champions are planning an early return of the keeper who was loaned to AS Monaco.
According to Spanish media, Munich could also imagine an external solution, Marca reports a specific interest in Sevilla goalkeeper Bono.

Born: April 5, 1991 (age 31), Montreal, Canada |
Current club: FC Sevilla |
Internationals: 51 for Morocco |
Contract until: 06/30/2025 |
FC Bayern looking for a goalkeeper: Morocco national goalkeeper Bono in focus
The fact that club boss Oliver Kahn is a former world goalkeeper could be a particular advantage in Bayern's current situation.
It will ultimately depend on the intuition of the Karlsruher.
As was recently reported, the 53-year-old should not be completely convinced of Nübel as number one.
Apparently one player impressed him during his visit to Qatar.
As the Spanish sports newspaper
Marca
reports, Bayern are said to have kept an eye on the Moroccan keeper Bono.
The Sevilla FC first-choice goalkeeper put in a strong performance throughout the World Cup, conceding just one goal, which was an own goal, before losing 2-0 in the semi-finals.
Bono also showed himself to be in command under pressure and his saves in the penalty shoot-out against Spain ensured the Moroccans reached the quarter-finals.

FC Bayern apparently interested in Bono - Sevilla FC needs income
According to
Marca
, the 31-year-old is at the top of FC Bayern's list, and the newspaper also reports that Oliver Kahn is "his most important advocate".
In addition, FC Sevilla is planning a personnel change in view of the sporting misery.
The Andalusians are currently wintering in a relegation zone and need fresh revenue for newcomers.
The fact that the World Cup could open the doors for a great sale was probably taken into account.
Although Bono is one of the top performers in the currently weak Blanquirrojos team, Sevilla would not be averse to letting him go for a corresponding sum, according to the report.
The Europa League record winner transferred four million euros for Bono in September 2020.

Bono apparently has a fixed clause - transfer fee could be the sticking point
A transfer would be due anyway, only in April did the Montreal-born keeper sign a new contract until 2025. According to Marca, his clause increased from 30 to 50 million.
It remains to be seen whether Bayern are willing to put the comparatively high amount on the table.
