De Ligt backs Bayern's chase for a new goalkeeper amid Neuer's injury

Following Manuel Neuer’s bizarre injury, Bayern is in desperate need for a new goalkeeper with Gladbach's Sommer emerging as a top target. Although the Bavarians' defender refuses to say names, he claims he would be happy to see a new keeper for the remainder of the season.

After

Manuel Neuer

’s injury which will keep him sidelined for the rest of the season,

Bayern

has been on the hunt for a new goalkeeper with

Yan Sommer

as the top target. Neuer suffered a broken leg during a skiing accident.

Ahead of Bayern's return to Bundesliga next Friday,

Matthijs de Ligt

backs Bayern's chase for a new goalkeeper. Asked about Sommer’s situation, the Dutchman said:

"It's difficult for me to say. Manuel is now out for half a year, and of course that's not good for the club.

"But it's not my job to say which goalkeeper we should buy. It would be nice to have a new goalkeeper on the pitch, but I can't influence that."

Bayern signed the Netherlands international

Daley Blind

on a free transfer from Ajax last week, with De Ligt delighted to play alongside his compatriot. He added: "

He's a very good player. With his experience, he can have very good games for us and help us."
