FC Bayern apparently really wants to sign German U21 national goalkeeper Jonas Urbig in the winter. But so far, 1. FC Cologne has not received an offer that meets the second division club’s requirements. The German record champions have apparently hit granite with the billy goats with a second transfer offer.
FC Bayern apparently wants to get Jonas Urbig from the Rhine to the Isar as quickly as possible. Players and club are said to be in agreement, but according to media reports there is a problem with the transfer fee. The Bundesliga table leaders recently made an initial offer in Cologne. This is said to have amounted to around five million euros and was immediately rejected by the second division club.
According to “Sky”, the Munich-based company has now approached Effzeh with a second offer. It is said that this was not well received by 1. FC Köln and was immediately rejected. The pay-TV channel’s report does not provide any further details about the offer from Säbener Straße.

However, the transfer is definitely at risk due to recent developments. According to Sky, FC Bayern will not pay any price for the talented goalkeeper. According to consistent media reports, 1. FC Cologne is asking for a transfer fee of eight to ten million euros for Urbig. The 21-year-old is under contract in the cathedral city until 2026.
In Munich, however, they only want to spend six to seven million euros on the new Neuer representative, it is said. “As of now, he will also be a Cologne player next week. We actually don’t plan on giving up a goalkeeper in the winter,” said Cologne’s sports director Christian Keller on the sidelines of the game at HSV (0-1) on Saturday evening on “Sky” Microphone.
We will “see what happens in the transfer phase,” said the Effzeh decision-maker.
