+++ RUMOR +++

Trap to Munich?

Eintracht Frankfurt's Kevin Trapp is said to be one of the possible candidates at FC Bayern to replace the injured goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

As the newspaper reported on Monday, the people of Munich are said to have asked “the Trapp side” whether a change would be an option.

So far, however, there has not been an official request from Eintracht.

There were initially no official statements about the personnel.

"We are examining different scenarios," Bayern sports director Hasan Salihamidžić recently told "Sport Bild" when looking for a goalkeeper.

The German soccer record champion has to do without Neuer until the end of the season because the captain of the national team broke his lower leg on a skiing holiday.

In Sven Ulreich, Munich only have one more experienced goalkeeper.

Alexander Nübel, who is on loan from FC Bayern to AS Monaco until the summer, and Yann Sommer from Borussia Mönchengladbach, whose contract expires at the end of June, were mentioned in the media as replacement candidates for Neuer.

Trapp still has a contract with Eintracht until the summer of 2024. The former goalkeeper from Paris Saint-Germain is number three in the national team behind Neuer and Marc‑André ter Stegen from FC Barcelona.

Bad for Boateng?

– Lyon bring back defender Lovren
