According to Sky Germany, Bayern Munich has begun preparing for a generational change at goalkeeper, anticipating a possible end to Manuel Neuer's career. Sven Ulreich is expected to become Neuer's successor, but Bayern's goalkeeper situation still requires urgent attention. Ulreich could also retire, and 17-year-old Lennard-Preskott may be promoted to third-choice goalkeeper.

According to current reports, Ulreich will need an experienced backup goalkeeper with excellent footwork. This goalkeeper must also possess leadership qualities to support the 23-year-old player. Previously mentioned candidates include Hoffenheim's Oliver Baumann, Fulham's Bernd Leno, and Cologne's Marvin Schwäbe. Sky Germany has now revealed additional candidates from their shortlist.

The pay-TV channel's candidate list also includes Al-Qadisiyah's Koen Casteels, Paris Saint-Germain's Kevin Trapp, Union Berlin's Frederik Rønnow, Monaco's Łukasz Godyetski, Newcastle United's Nick Pope, Atlético Madrid's Juan Musso, and Sporting CP's Rui Silva. All these names are reportedly being considered by Bayern. However, the report states that Bayern has not yet contacted any of the mentioned goalkeepers.

Bayern is also considering Augsburg's Finn Dahmen. The 28-year-old footballer was recently called up by Klopp for the first training camp as Germany's national team coach, and Augsburg is unlikely to obstruct his departure. Augsburg coach Thorsten Baumgart previously told Bild: "If a player is among the best in the Bundesliga, he naturally attracts the attention of leading Bundesliga teams. At Augsburg, our philosophy is to sometimes let go of players whose performance can be above average."

Dahmen's contract with Augsburg expires in 2027, meaning he could leave as a free agent this summer. Neuer's contract is also set to expire then. Neuer has spent 16 years at Bayern Munich and has repeatedly spoken in recent weeks about ending his career. This season, the 40-year-old Neuer is nominally still Bayern's number one goalkeeper, but by mutual agreement he has allowed Ulreich to play more than last season. Former Cologne goalkeeper Ulreich has started twice this season, most recently in a Bundesliga match against Elversberg.

Due to limited playing time at Bayern, Klopp allowed Ulreich to play all 90 minutes in Germany's last two international matches against Serbia and Greece, which ended 2:0 and 0:0 respectively. Ulreich performed well in both matches, making a crucial save against Greece in the 0:0 draw.
