Bayern Munich are reportedly still monitoring Hoffenheim goalkeeper Oliver Baumann as a potential experienced backup option if Manuel Neuer retires next summer. With 40-year-old Neuer widely expected to retire in 2027, Bayern have lined up 23-year-old Jonas Urbig as his successor. However, the club wants to sign an experienced goalkeeper to support the young starter.
According to Kicker, the 36-year-old Baumann is being discussed for the role, though he reportedly hopes to break Karl-Heinz Körbel's all-time Bundesliga appearance record of 602 games. Other alternative backup options mentioned include Finn Dahmen, Marvin Schwäbe, Bernd Leno, and Daniel Heuer Fernandes, pending Neuer's final decision.
