Bayern Munich are moving to secure the present and future of their goalkeeping department, according to Sky Sports Deutschland. Despite rumours, that future will not include Liverpool's Alisson Becker replacing Manuel Neuer.
Instead, a contract renewal is still possible for Neuer with initial discussions expected to take place before the end of this calendar year, per the report. The 38-year-old's current deal expires in the summer of 2025.
The current plan is for Alexander Nübel to eventually be Neuer's successor, with the 28-year-old now on loan at Stuttgart. Bayern can bring Nubel back next summer but would need to let Stuttgart know by spring, and if he doesn't return until 2026 his contract automatically extends to 2030.
Even with that in mind, Bayern are also monitoring Koln's Jonas Urbig and Brighton & Hove Albion's Bart Verbruggen.
The 21-year-old Urbig is expected to leave Koln in the summer despite his contract running until 2026. Bayern are expected to have competition from top clubs both in Germany and abroad for Urbig, who is expected to be available for €5m-€7m.
Liverpool's Alisson Becker is not headed to Bayern Munich as the German club looks at other goalkeepers.
