Report: Bayern Munich all in on Jonas Urbig

Bayern Munich might have despatched each sign it may to indicate religion in deputy keeper Jonas Urbig as Manuel Neuer’s eventual successor, however there has at all times been a component of doubt among the many fan base. May the Bavarians actually flip the keys over to the younger and unproven Urbig? In any case, there can be veteran choices available on the market to chase — and even still-on-the-books Alexander Nübel, at the moment on his fifth straight season on mortgage away from the membership.

However no, the Bavarians are all in — even when Neuer hangs ‘em up after this season, based on a report from Sport Bild journalists Christian Flak and Heiko Niedderer. As captured by @iMiaSanMia:

Ought to Manuel Neuer determine to retire on the finish of the season, Bayern don’t have any plans to signal a competitor for Jonas Urbig for the #1 spot. The clear tendency is to depend on Urbig as Neuer’s successor and get a brand new #2, relying on what occurs with Peretz and Nübel [@cfbayern, @itstheicebird]

This makes numerous sense, and never simply within the pockets division. Signing a brand new No. 1 would price — after which the place would Urbig go? If it’s the beginning of a mortgage journey, then Bayern would wish a brand new No. 2 as nicely.

Let’s hope the Bavarians’ religion in Urbig is well-placed. To this point, it seems promising.
