At Bayern you are still in shock: Manuel Neuer's season is over.

Ex-professional Dietmar Hamann proposes an Argentine to his ex-club.

Munich – During the winter break, the “worst case” occurred for FC Bayern in several respects: On the one hand, the many DFB stars returned to the club with a negative experience after the embarrassment in the group phase of the 2022 World Cup.

On the other hand, two regular players at the record champions were seriously injured: France's Lucas Hernandez in the first game of the World Cup, FCB captain Manuel Neuer (36) after the tournament.

The big question now is: How should the goalkeeper be replaced?

Ex-professional Dietmar Hamann gave

his opinion on this in his column on

Sky .

"I can't imagine he would want to"

FC Bayern's desired solution is not the TV expert's preferred: Alexander Nübel, currently goalkeeper at AS Monaco.

Hamann trusts this to be a "worthy replacement for Neuer and to be number one in Munich in the long run".

But: "It won't be easy and I can't really imagine that he wants to do it after everything that has happened in the past." Nübel had repeatedly emphasized that he would no longer sit on the bench behind Neuer.

In addition, Bayern have a return clause for the 26-year-old, but only for the summer, not for the winter.

Hamann's train of thought is understandable: Neuer wants to return and with a return campaign you would soon have the same problems with Nübel as before.

Hamann's suggestion to Oliver Kahn, Hasan Salihamidzic and Co: "If the Bayern bosses are of the opinion that they are now getting a keeper who has the potential to guard the Bayern goal for years, they could also go to the Argentine international Think Emiliano Martinez of Aston Villa or check the Croatian goalkeeper.” Martinez (30) has a contract with Aston Villa until 2027 and could be crowned world champion on Sunday.

Croatia's Dominik Livakovic (27) is currently offered by Dinamo Zagreb on the transfer market - but according to information from

Sport Bild

, FC Bayern should not be interested.

Hamann criticizes Neuer: "Performances weren't what they used to be"

Hamann advises Bayern to think long-term: "I think they should sign a goalkeeper who is then guaranteed that he has a real chance of staying in goal even after Neuer returns if he does well in the coming months Deserved." Of course, a lot also depends on Neuer himself: "Will Neuer come back and if so, how?

Performance hasn't been what it used to be lately.

He didn't hold up well at the World Cup either," writes Hamann, who speaks of the "enormous torment" of Neuer's months of rehab.
