The Bayern transfer market is already working on different scenarios for its goalkeeping position in the face of the possible retirement of Manuel Neuer and has included Juan Musso, goalkeeper of Atlético de Madrid, among the candidates. According to Sky Sports, the Argentine is part of a list of several goalkeepers that the German club is following to strengthen the position.

Neuer, at 40 years old, remains linked to Bayern and participated in the 2026 World Cup as a German international after extending his contract with the Bavarian team for one season. His continuity beyond the current contract is once again conditioned by his age.

Bayern seeks competition for Jonas Urbig

Currently, Bayern has Jonas Urbig, aged 23, as one of the alternatives for taking over the goalkeeping duties in the future. However, the German club wants to bring in another goalkeeper who can compete for the position and prevent all responsibility from falling solely on the German.

Sky Sports places Juan Musso among the options being considered. The list also includes Oliver Baumann from Hoffenheim, Leno, Casteels, Trapp, Rönnow, Hradecky, and Pope.

The Musso operation would also have a contractual condition. The Argentine is linked to Atlético de Madrid until 2028, after the Spanish club executed his definitive transfer from Atalanta following his initial loan period.

Juan Musso, an alternative with a contract until 2028

Juan Musso, aged 32, currently belongs to Atlético de Madrid and is part of the squad for the 2026/27 season. The Spanish club made his signing from Atalanta official with a contract until 2028.

The goalkeeper initially arrived at Atlético on loan and played 9 matches, seven in the Copa del Rey and two in LaLiga, during that first season, keeping 6 clean sheets. His international experience is also noteworthy: he made his debut with Argentina in 2019 and won the 2021 Copa America and the 2022 Finalissima.

Musso's situation in Madrid adds a relevant element to a potential deal. Atlético de Madrid already has its squad defined with Musso and Jan Oblak as goalkeepers, so any proposal from Bayern would require negotiation with the Spanish club.

For Bayern, the next step will be to determine which profile best fits in the succession plan for Manuel Neuer. Musso is on a broad list, and there is currently no specific offer for the Argentine. The scenario will depend mainly on when Neuer decides to end his career and on the evaluation that the club makes of Urbig in the coming months.
