FC Bayern, rumors: Trapp rumors “complete nonsense”

SGE sports director Markus Krösche has denied the rumors about an alleged request from FC Bayern to Kevin Trapp. “It’s a story made up by the consultants, complete nonsense,” he told the Wiesbaden courier. the picture had previously reported that the record champions had asked Eintracht Frankfurts Trapp if they were available.

Harsh words against Trapp’s representatives, who certainly do not simplify the contract poker of the 32-year-old (runs until 2024) with Eintracht. The Hessians definitely do not want to give up Trapp, there is much more room for an extension. “It is true that there is a written offer,” Trapp had already explained in the summer.

At FC Bayern, meanwhile, a commitment from Borussia Mönchengladbach’s Yann Sommer seems to be sought. the Southgerman newspaper now reports that Sommer even informed the top management that he would like to switch to Bayern Munich. The foals actually want to extend the summer, but according to the report they could be ready to sell if the requirements are met. In contrast to Frankfurt’s Trapp, Sommer only has a contract until next summer.

The Bavarians are said to be ready to sell because negotiations about an early extension of the contract, which expires in the summer, would falter.

Here, however, a summer transfer would be considered. But the competition is the same: Manchester United. According to the report, the Red Devils are planning a €60m offer to Eintracht Frankfurt.
