After Manuel Neuer's skiing injury sparked a frantic search for a temporary replacement, Bayern Munich managed to secure Yann Sommer from Borussia Mönchengladbach. However, Celtic's goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel revealed that he was close to joining Bayern himself. Despite lengthy discussions and an agreement seemingly in place, the deal collapsed last minute. Schmeichel expressed his disappointment, stating it would have been a dream to play for such a prestigious club, but ultimately finds happiness at Celtic, a team his grandfather admired.
"Yes, that's correct, there were discussions about me joining Bayern," Schmeichel confirmed, emphasizing how close he was to making the move become a reality. "It just fell through at the last second."
"Unfortunately, it didn't materialise. It would have been a dream to have played for a club like this, but it wasn't to be," Schmeichel reflected on the near-miss.
