Bild reports on Bayern München's acquisition of Jonas Urbig from Köln as a potential successor to Manuel Neuer. Bayern München signs Jonas Urbig from Köln as a potential successor to Manuel Neuer. The article discusses Bayern's current strategy with their goalkeepers, including Urbig's position among four number-2 goalkeepers at the club.

Bayern München has reached an agreement with FC Köln to acquire goalkeeper Jonas Urbig for a fee of approximately ten million euros. The 21-year-old German youth international had one and a half years remaining on his contract with the club from the 2. Bundesliga. Urbig is set to sign a five-year contract with Bayern. The club, under the leadership of coach Vincent Kompany, considers Urbig as a potential long-term successor to Manuel Neuer, whose contract is set to expire in 2025. Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg reported that Urbig is expected to undergo his medical examination within the next 24 hours. Urbig, who spent last season on loan at Greuther Fürth, has played eleven matches for FC Köln this season but lost his starting position to Marvin Schwäbe. Bayern München had previously made three unsuccessful attempts to acquire Urbig. The German youth international is now expected to serve as a reserve behind Neuer, as Sven Ulreich is not included in the club's plans.

Bayern München is poised to acquire Jonas Urbig, a 21-year-old promising goalkeeper from FC Köln. This transfer is viewed as a future-focused acquisition because of Urbig's standing as one of the top goalkeeper talents in Germany. The transfer process has been expedited due to an injury sustained by Bayern's second goalkeeper, Daniel Peretz. Bayern is set to pay approximately 10 million euros, which includes 3 million euros in bonuses and variables. Urbig is anticipated to undergo medical examinations soon. The transfer was made possible by a secret meeting earlier this week, and an agreement between the clubs has been reached.

Jonas Urbig is reportedly in agreement with FC Bayern for a collaboration. However, the agreement with Köln is still pending. An eight million euro offer from the German record champions was not enough to convince Köln. It is believed that Köln's threshold for the goalkeeper is ten million euros.
