FC Bayern Signs U21 Goalkeeper Jonas Urbig from 1. FC Köln

The 21-year-old talent joins Bayern on a contract until 2029, with aspirations to succeed Manuel Neuer as the club's future first-choice goalkeeper.

Jonas Urbig, a 21-year-old U21 German national team goalkeeper, has signed with Bayern Munich from 1. FC Köln for a reported fee of €7 million.
Urbig's contract with Bayern runs until 2029, positioning him as a potential successor to current captain Manuel Neuer, who is expected to extend his contract for another year.
Urbig began the season as Köln's starting goalkeeper but lost his spot to Marvin Schwäbe; his previous loan spells in Regensburg and Fürth showcased his potential.
Bayern's goalkeeper roster now includes several options, including Alexander Nübel, Daniel Peretz, and young prospect Max Schmitt, alongside Neuer and Sven Ulreich.
This signing follows Bayern's recent acquisition of another top German prospect, Tom Bischof, highlighting the club's focus on securing emerging domestic talent.
