Overview
- Jonas Urbig has resumed full training and is expected to be in the Bayern squad as Manuel Neuer’s backup for the SC Freiburg match, according to Bild reporting relayed by Yahoo Sports.
- Kicker reports Bayern have weighed ending Alexander Nübel’s contract early, a move that would likely require a substantial double‑digit million euro severance.
- Nübel said the chances are high he could return to train with Urbig at Bayern and he praised the 22‑year‑old’s maturity after getting to know him during Germany duty.
- Sport Bild reports Bayern have discussed HSV’s Daniel Heuer Fernandes, 33, as a possible experienced No. 2 if Neuer retires, with his HSV deal set to extend automatically if the club stays up.
- Club expectations reported this week say Neuer will decide in the coming weeks, and that choice will shape whether Urbig competes for the No. 1 spot and which veteran deputy Bayern pursue.
