Inter Milan Set to Extend Yann Sommer’s Contract as Backup Goalkeeper
Inter Milan appears ready to keep Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer at the club but under a new role as the second-choice keeper. Reports from Italian media suggest the veteran is likely to remain at San Siro if he accepts a reduced position behind the current rising talent. This arrangement would come with a contract extension to secure his stay for the next few seasons.
The shift benefits Spanish goalkeeper Josep Martinez, who has been waiting patiently as Inter’s backup. He is now expected to become the first-choice option between the posts after spending the previous season preparing for the opportunity. This transition signals a long-term plan for Inter’s goalkeeping department, blending experience with youth.
Sommer originally joined Inter with the promise of being the starting goalkeeper, but recent performances have prompted the club to reconsider his role. His display in the 4-3 defeat to Juventus in the derby d’Italia drew heavy criticism, including from Italian football figures who questioned his ability to handle long-range shots.
With this backdrop, Sommer is likely to be rested for the upcoming Champions League match against Ajax, providing Martinez a chance to prove himself on a bigger stage. The new contract offer positions Sommer as an experienced backup while allowing Inter to develop a fresh number one for the future.
