As Manuel Neuer has reached the age of 37 and is recovering from a serious leg injury, Bayern Munich are considering finding a successor. After Yann Sommer and Alexander Nubel, the lucky winner would be Georgian.
After a difficult 2022-2023 season, Bayern Munich must start a new virtuous cycle. The Bavarians are close to signing Harry Kane to make up for their shortcomings in attack. Behind also the Rekordmeister has works to settle. The position of goalkeeper is no longer a safe bet since the serious injury of Manuel Neuer. The iconic 37-year-old German goalkeeper broke his leg while skiing just after the World Cup in Qatar. Yann Sommer replaced him for the return leg but the Swiss does not intend to be Neuer’s understudy in the future. This is not the case with Alexander Nubel either, who did not make a strong impression during his loan to Monaco, it must be said.
Giorgi Mamardashvili in the sights of Bayern but not only
A new young talent is therefore needed to take over from Neuer. Bayern Munich may have found the right man in Giorgi Mamardashvili. The 22-year-old Georgian goalkeeper convinced Europe in Valencia’s goals in La Liga but especially in selection. Already a starter with the A, he performed at the last Euro Espoirs in his country. He contributed to Georgia’s journey, which reached the quarter-finals of the competition. According to Sky Sports Deutschland, Bayern are currently studying the possibility of recruiting Mamardashvili but there will be no delay.

The latter can experience a good career development after having played the maintenance in La Liga in Valencia. The European Cup may be waiting for him to follow in the footsteps of Kvaratshkelia, precursor of the Georgian awakening in Europe near Naples.
