Bayern Munich will step up their search for a back-up goalkeeper following the sale of Yann Sommer.

The German giants are in the market for a number one this summer, as Manuel Neuer remains sidelined after breaking his leg after the World Cup.

Kepa Arrizabalaga emerges as Bayern’s number one choice

The recent reports from Fabrizio Romano have claimed that Kepa Arrizabalaga is Bayern’s preferred choice to replace Sommer this season.

Chelsea are open to the sale of the Spanish goalkeeper after signing Robert Sanchez from Brighton earlier this week.

The reports have claimed that Bayern and Chelsea will open talks over the weekend, and there is a hope from both parties that an agreement can be reached.

However, Bayern will keep their options open, as the German club remains interested in Bounou and Geronimo Rulli.
