Yann Sommer (37 years old) will enter the last three months of his contract, but it is no longer certain that he will leave Inter in the summer. Until the negotiations of Guglielmo Vicario from Tottenham are clarified, the management of the Nerazzurri is groping the field with the 37-year-old German goalkeeper, with whom the terms of the extension of the agreement would be discussed.
Cristi Chivu has five players whose contracts expire on June 30, Yann Sommer, Francesco Acerbi, Stefan de Vrij, Matteo Darmian and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and of these only the first and the last have a chance to continue next season. If the Armenian midfielder has already been written about, the novelty concerns the German goalkeeper.
Gazzetta: “It is said that Vicario is the “chosen one”, and in the summer, the Nerazzurri will make an offer to Tottenham”
Even though his performances have left a lot to be desired, with mistakes costing Inter important points in this championship, Sommer does not know what will happen to him at the end of the season. There are three variants: to return to the country, probably to FC Basel, retire from football or stay at the authoritative leader of Serie A.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, “his experience could be useful for the next goalkeeper. In the foreground is Guglielmo Vicario, Tottenham's number 1, the winner of the Europa League in 2024-2025. In these cases, it is said that he is the “chosen one”, and in the summer, the Nerazzurri will make an offer to Spurs.
Sommer has not yet decided his future. He needs to focus on the Championship and the difficulties encountered this season, where he is third last in Serie A in terms of goals conceded.
“Inter management is ready to offer him a contract extension and it remains to be seen if Sommer will accept”
His latest mistakes are the usual ones, which he saw in the games against Atalanta and Fiorentina, involving rebounds that allowed the opponents to score. The management of Inter is ready to offer him an extension and it remains to be seen whether he will accept”.

The quoted source also writes that Josep Martinez, who came to Pinetina in 2024 with the task of replacing Sommer, did not convince. Aside from the accident that killed an elderly man, the Spanish goalkeeper has played twice in Serie A this season and has also made three Coppa Italia appearances and one in the Italian Supercup.
The club management do not consider him highly reliable to replace Yann Sommer, who won the title and defended in the Champions League final last season. The Nerazzurri have invested €15 million in the former Genoa goalkeeper in 2024, but are now asking questions. It's not a good sign.”
