‘Extremely difficult’: Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn on search for Manuel Neuer replacement

The Hindu  

Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn has acknowledged the challenges of finding a replacement for injured captain and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer in the winter transfer window. But replacing Manuel Neuer during the winter break is of course extremely difficult, especially since not many clubs want to give up their number one goalkeeper,” Kahn said. While Kahn said he hoped to see a fully fit Neuer back on the pitch, he acknowledged “football is a short-term business, we have to think about the here and now.” Kahn, who played 429 games for Bayern in a 14-year stint before retiring in 2008, refused to guarantee Neuer would return to the first team when he has completed his recovery. And a Manuel Neuer in top form is absolutely world class.” German media reports suggest Borussia Moenchengladbach and Switzerland goalkeeper Yann Sommer remains their top target.
