The 6 goalkeepers Bayern Munich is following for 2027

Bayern Munich is considering six options to replace Manuel Neuer in goal for the upcoming season, given the imminent retirement of the German legend. The six choices are experienced to enhance competitiveness.

As confirmed by German media such as Bild, Bayern's board is planning for the succession of Manuel Neuer upon his possible retirement, seeking a veteran profile to provide competition for Jonas Urbig as the starting goalkeeper.

Nick Pope, Rui Silva, and Lukáš Hrádecký lead Bayern Munich's European options

Among the top targets is Nick Pope, the 34-year-old goalkeeper from Newcastle whose contract expires in June 2027. The English international has 10 caps and has not seen any official action this season due to the coach Matthias Jaissle favoring Lukáš Horníček, also drawing interest from Celtic, Leeds United, and Hull City.

Bayern Munich's list also includes Rui Silva, 32 years old, currently with Sporting CP until June 2028. Additionally, Lukáš Hrádecký, 36 years old, under contract with AS Monaco until June 2027, is being monitored and is a target for Eintracht Frankfurt.

Frederik Rönnow, Kevin Trapp, and Juan Musso complete the sports management's roster

The Bavarian technical department is also following Frederik Rönnow, 34 years old, starting goalkeeper for Union Berlin with a contract until 2027, has 10 caps with Denmark, and a market value of €2.00 million on Transfermarkt. Likewise, Kevin Trapp, 36 years old, playing for Paris FC until 2028, has 9 appearances for the German national team and a market valuation of €1.80 million.

Completing the roster is Juan Musso, 32 years old, a backup at Atletico Madrid with a contract until 2028, has 4 caps with Argentina, a market value of €3.00 million, and secondarily attracting interest from Napoli and Juventus.

Bayern Munich's strategy for transitioning in goal

Bayern Munich's board prioritizes hiring an international experienced specialist to avoid tactical imbalances during Jonas Urbig's consolidation. The availability of contracts expiring in 2027 will facilitate negotiating low-cost transfers or free agent acquisitions.

The German executives aim to narrow down the options to two finalists before the start of the winter transfer window to finalize a formal pre-contract agreement. Bayern Munich's sports management will evaluate the performance and official playing time of the six candidates during the final quarter of 2026.

Should Manuel Neuer confirm his retirement after this current season, Bayern Munich will actively seek to add an experienced goalkeeper to their squad rotation.
