Bayern Munich prepares for post-Neuer era with Jonas Urbig
Summary

Bayern Munich is planning for a potential transition in goalkeeping as Manuel Neuer's future remains uncertain ahead of next season.

Bayern sees Jonas Urbig as the leading candidate for the starting position, aiming for an experienced backup instead of another young goalkeeper. The club is currently evaluating 7-8 candidates but will first determine the situations of Neuer and Sven Ulreich before making any moves regarding a new goalkeeper.
