Overview
- FC Bayern confirmed on Friday that Daniel Peretz has joined FC Southampton on a permanent deal after his loan spell with the club.
- British and German outlets report the fee at about €7.5–8.0 million, a sum that would make Peretz the most expensive goalkeeper sale in Bayern history if finalized.
- Peretz has signed a four-year contract reportedly running to 2030 and arrived after a loan season in which he made 26 appearances with nine clean sheets for the Saints.
- Bayern sold Peretz because their 2026–27 goalkeeper roster of Manuel Neuer, Jonas Urbig, and Sven Ulreich left him surplus to plans and the club is expected to move other keepers this window.
- Southampton will keep Peretz despite an EFL disciplinary ruling that bans the club from the Championship playoffs and imposes a four-point deduction, which delays any immediate return to the Premier League.
