Uli Hoeneß stated that he wants Manuel Neuer to take a mentoring role for 22-year-old German goalkeeper Jonas Urbig and that Urbig should be given more games next season or take over as successor if Neuer leaves. According to BILD, the club leadership's clear tendency for weeks has been that Urbig should get more games from Neuer if Neuer extends, or take over as successor if Neuer stops. Urbig joined Bayern Munich in January 2025 and has made 9 appearances in the Bundesliga this season. The uncapped German international's contract runs until 2029, and his current market value is €15.00m according to Transfermarkt.
