MUNICH — Bayern Munich has signed Switzerland goalkeeper Yann Sommer from Bundesliga rival Borussia Mönchengladbach to make up for the injured Manuel Neuer's absence. The 34-year-old Sommer has signed through June 2025. Bayern was left scrambling for cover after Neuer broke his leg in a skiing accident last month.
