Max Eberl comments on Jonas Urbig as Germany’s potential future goalkeeper
Summary

Following the second retirement of Manuel Neuer from the German national team, speculation has emerged regarding the future of the goalkeeper position under manager Jürgen Klopp. Bayern Munich board member Max Eberl addressed the prospect of Jonas Urbig becoming the national team's first-choice starter. Eberl noted that while the decision rests with the coaching staff, the organization recognizes significant potential in Urbig. Urbig is currently developing at Bayern Munich while learning under Manuel Neuer. The coaching transition under Klopp leaves the starting role vacant, with Oliver Baumann, Noah Atubolu, and Finn Dahmen also viewed as candidates for the position. Future international windows are expected to provide more clarity on the selection order for the German squad.
