Yann Sommer Signs Long-Term Deal With Club Brugge

Arriving as the club’s experienced goalkeeper, Sommer replaces retired Simon Mignolet to shore up Brugge ahead of Champions League play.

Overview

  • Club Brugge confirmed the signing of 37-year-old Swiss keeper Yann Sommer on a contract running to 30 June 2029.
  • Sommer joined Brugge on a free transfer after his Inter Milan contract expired at the end of June 2026.
  • He brings extensive top-level experience, including 94 caps for Switzerland and 139 appearances for Inter with 66 clean sheets in that spell.
  • Brugge expect Sommer to step into the starting role vacated by Simon Mignolet and to join a goalkeeper group that includes Nordin Jackers and Axl De Corte.
  • Reports say offers from clubs in Spain and Ajax were considered, and Brugge’s Champions League place likely helped secure Sommer as a long-term option who should add immediate stability in goal.
