Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann said on Wednesday he hoped the Bundesliga leaders would soon decide how to replace the injured Manuel Neuer, even if it meant not signing a new goalkeeper.
Nagelsmann said he did not want the saga over injured captain Neuer "to go on forever": "We would like to have a decision, in either direction. At some point you need calm in the (goalkeeping) position," Nagelsmann told a press conference ahead of Bayern's return to action at RB Leipzig on Friday.
Nagelsmann said there had been "no contact" between him and Bayern's main transfer target, Borussia Moenchengladbach stopper Yann Sommer: "(The club) are always working on ways to reinforce the squad - and that's the case now as well. I'm always relaxed when it comes to transfers. It's not always just two parties that need to be satisfied," he added.
German media reported on Wednesday that Gladbach were close to signing Montpellier goalkeeper Jonas Omlin, which was considered a pre-condition of allowing Swiss international Sommer to move to Bayern. The 36-year-old Neuer was ruled out for the remainder of the season after breaking his leg in a skiing accident in December.
