Bayern Munich is actively looking for a future replacement for veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, despite him agreeing to extend his contract with the Bavarians.
The club’s scouts have focused on Cologne's goalkeeper, Jonas Urbig.
Details. According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, Bayern has already made an initial offer, which was rejected by Köln. A second, improved offer is now being prepared.
Negotiations are currently centered around the player’s transfer fee, which is expected to be around €8 million. Urbig’s contract with the second-division club runs until 2026.
A verbal agreement has already been reached between Bayern and Urbig, and personal terms have been fully agreed.
Bayern sees Urbig as a top talent and a potential future replacement for Neuer.
Reminder. The 21-year-old German goalkeeper has been with Köln since 2022. This season, he has played 11 matches and conceded 22 goals.
