Overview
- Sky Sport Deutschland and reporter Florian Plettenberg say Julian Nagelsmann is weighing a recall for the 40-year-old, with Germany’s official list on May 21 set to confirm or deny it.
- Coverage in Le Parisien says talks between Manuel Neuer, Nagelsmann, and sporting director Rudi Völler have taken place and reportedly moved the plan forward.
- The position has lacked a clear successor since Neuer’s 2024 retirement, with Marc-André ter Stegen dealing with injuries and Alexander Nübel and Oliver Baumann not locking down the role.
- Foot Mercato notes Neuer impressed in much of this season’s Champions League despite a high-profile error against Real Madrid, and past tension with Nagelsmann still raises questions.
- Ex-international Didi Hamann says Nagelsmann had indicated trust in Baumann earlier and warns a late switch back to Neuer could strain dressing-room trust, as Sky also mentions a 55-man preliminary list.
