FC Bayern Munich has signed the talented goalkeeper Jonas Urbig from 1. FC Köln. The transfer fee should be around ten million euros with bonuses. There had been speculation for a long time about the change of the U21 national goalkeeper.
Three-way battle for Neuer’s successor
“He is one of the most promising young goalkeepers in German football, very ambitious and has huge potential,” said sports director Christoph Freund. According to media reports, the transfer fee is said to be around seven million euros. There had been speculation for a long time about the Cologne goalkeeper’s change.
Urbig is initially planned as a replacement for the long-time Munich goalkeeper and leading player Manuel Neuer. In the future he could also become his successor. He will fight for this position with Daniel Peretz, who is currently injured, and Alexander Nübel, who is on loan to Stuttgart.
Second top German talent
