Inter's starting goalkeeper, Yann Sommer (37 years old), is out of contract at the end of the current season.
On Sunday evening, against Parma, Yann Sommer begins a real “tour of honor” at the Nerazzurri. Gazzetta dello Sport writes that coach Cristi Chivu and the club's management have decided not to extend his contract due on July 1.
Gazzetta dello Sport: “Inter do not extend Yann Sommer”
“A Swiss international will stay at Inter until 2028, and that is Manuel Akanji, and a former Swiss international will leave Inter at the end of his contract. Yann Sommer has already been informed of the club's intention to end the collaboration after three years of ups and downs,” the said daily reports.
Sommer, who has also won titles in Switzerland and Germany, leaves Inter with two Scudetti, an Italian Super Cup and the regret of a Champions League final lost away to PSG.
Yann Sommer will defend in the last stages, Josep Martinez will start in the Cup final with Lazio
Gazzetta also reveals that Chivu, “who defended him even in the most critical moments of his season, will allow him to play in the last 3 stages of the championship as well, to receive the tribute of the fans at San Siro, always very kind to the Swiss goalkeeper”.
Instead, in the Coppa Italia final, with Lazio, he will sit on the bench. The reason? Josep Martinez, the Swiss's reserve in the Championship, was a key figure throughout the competition and a key figure in the second leg of the semi-final against Como. Gazzetta dello Sport: “After two seasons as a reserve, the Spanish goalkeeper plays his future at Inter at the end of this season”.
Inter have already agreed with Guglielmo Vicario, from Tottenham
Sommer's succession is also being worked out. The same Gazzetta dello Sport recently wrote that Inter has agreed in all respects with Radu Drăgușin's teammate from Tottenham, Guglielmo Vicario.
It remains for the Nerazzurri to discuss the price of the deal with the leaders of Spurs, but the end of the Premier League season is expected. Especially because the price could drop considerably if Tottenham are relegated to the Chamionship.
