Before the away game in the Champions League playoffs at Celtic Glasgow, Manuel Neuer (38) surprised with an agreement for the Bayern goal. Winter newcomer Jonas Urbig (21) can hope for games even in the future if the Munich goalkeeper itself is fit and ready for use, as Neuer reveals.
“It is the case that there is also a certain agreement and that we also try to develop Jonas,” said Neuer. “And he can only do that if he plays too. Accordingly, there will be games in consultation with the trainer and then also with our goalkeeper team that Jonas plays. ”Unlike in the past, new ones, who last extended his contract until 2026, also seems ready to parts without need to want to resign. The U21 national goalkeeper Urbig, who was hired by 1st FC Köln and bound to FC Bayern by 2029 and bound to FC Bayern, benefits from this.
“If he had already played with Bavaria this season, he would have had a few games,” said Neuer and smiled. “I assume that there will be at least two next season through the cup games I have been out.” Neuer had seen the red card in the DFB Cup against Bayer Leverkusen. He takes the lock into the next season. For the goal, FC Bayern also contracted Daniel Peretz (24) until 2028. Alexander Nübel (28), awarded to VfB Stuttgart, continues to be the new successor, who has been bound by FCB for three more years after the planned return from Stuttgart 2026.
Ito before the first Bayern mission: Feeling newcomer for Kompany
Bayern coach Vincent Kompany is looking forward to a new addition to which he had to wait a long time. Hiroki Ito (25) is in the playoff first leg in Celtic Park on Wednesday (9:00 p.m./DAZN) after a long time of suffering in the squad of the German record champions.
“Hiroki was very good for us in preparation. It was a shame that he was missing for so long, ”said Kompany. Ito was hired by VfB Stuttgart for around 23 million euros before the season. In preparation, he suffered a breach of midfoot and has failed since then.
Kompany also pointed out how difficult it was to introduce ito to the team again. “We now have more players with experience and quality – but the fitness is difficult to judge. The impressions were good in training, but unfortunately I can’t organize a short -term test game for him, ”said the Belgian.
