According to reports, FC Bayern may need an experienced backup goalkeeper to support Jonas Urbig, as Manuel Neuer and Sven Ulreich are potentially departing. German goalkeeper Bernd Leno, 34, has been identified as a candidate. Leno is reportedly on Bayern's list and can imagine a transfer to the record champions. A reported contributing factor for his interest is the opportunity to live near his Swabian home.
Although his contract at Fulham, which he joined on August 2, 2022, is nearing its end, the club has an option to extend it. However, it is unclear if he would be suitable for a backup role because he previously declined a national team call-up in October 2024 when his intended role was as a reserve. The German international has 9 caps for his country, and his current market value is €6.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
