Basel Sporting Director Calls Inter Milan Veteran To Return Home: “An Ideal Candidate”

Basel Sporting Director Calls Inter Milan Veteran To Return Home: “An Ideal Candidate” Basel sporting director David Degen has invited Inter Milan goalkeeper Yann Sommer to return to the club in the summer. Speaking on Basel’s official podcast, Degen identified the 37-year-old as an ‘ideal candidate’ for the role, as reported by FCInterNews . Yann Sommer will be out of contract in June, with Inter reluctant to offer him fresh terms.

Despite his loyalty to the club, the Swiss veteran has entered the twilight of his career and is likely to leave San Siro in the summer. Meanwhile, his boyhood club, Basel, could try to lure him back to his homeland and give him a chance to retire in a familiar setting. As for Inter, they’ve already earmarked Guglielmo Vicario as a top candidate to fill the vacancy in goal.

Moreover, the Italian is reportedly keen to join the Nerazzurri. However, they must wait until the end of the season to open talks with Tottenham Hotspur, who are fighting to secure Premier League survival. Basel CEO David Degen Invites Yann Sommer to Return to the Club “My preferred candidate plays about 300–350 kilometers away as the crow flies,” Degen said.

“I hope he calls me soon. He knows he can call me – he’s aware of that – he just needs to send me a signal. “Whether it will really happen, I don’t know.
