FC Bayern Munich has apparently increased the pace significantly in its recruitment of goalkeeper talent Jonas Urbig, but also suffered the first rejection from 1. FC Köln. According to information from the TV channel “Sky“The record champions now want to sign the 21-year-old immediately and have already reached an agreement with the player. However, his club rejected an initial offer.

Bayern are therefore preparing a second offer for Urbig, who is still bound until 2026. It is said that the transfer fee could ultimately be up to 8 million euros. Only seven keepers have cost more in the history of the Bundesliga, two of whom moved to Munich (for statistics).
Update January 16, 12:11 p.m.: According to the “Picture“The Cologne pain threshold is supposedly 10 million euros. This also involves bonus payments and profit participation. For comparison: Manuel Neuer (38) once went from Schalke to Bayern for 30 million euros. It is said that the FC bosses do not want to sell the next talent after Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen), Justin Diehl (VfB Stuttgart) and Tim Lemperle (before moving to TSG Hoffenheim) at a low price. “It is true that there are expressions of interest in Jonas from several top European clubs – and Bavaria is also a top club in Europe,” Cologne’s sports boss Christian Keller confirmed the courtship of Urbig at a members’ regulars’ table.
Urbig has lost his regular place at FC to veteran Marvin Schwäbe (29), but is still considered a potential future national goalkeeper. It was originally said that FC Bayern wanted to sign the U21 international in the summer, and Bayer 04 Leverkusen was also considered interested. Daniel Peretz, for whom a loan transfer is on the table from July, is this season’s representative for captain Manuel Neuer (38). The 24-year-old will be out for several weeks due to a bruised kidney.
