According to Sky Germany, Bayern Munich has begun preparations for a generational change in goal, anticipating Manuel Neuer's possible retirement. Sven Ulreich is expected to succeed Neuer, but Bayern Munich's goalkeeper situation still requires urgent adjustments. Ulreich could also retire, while 17-year-old Lennart Moukoko is expected to be promoted to third-choice goalkeeper.

According to current reports, Ulreich will need an experienced backup goalkeeper with good distribution skills. This goalkeeper should also possess leadership qualities to support the 23-year-old. Previously mentioned candidates included Oliver Baumann from Hoffenheim, Bernd Leno from Fulham, and Marvin Schwäbe from Cologne. Sky Germany has now revealed additional candidates on the list.

The pay-TV channel's candidate list also includes Koen Casteels from Al-Qadsiah, Kevin Trapp from Paris Saint-Germain, Frederik Rønnow from Union Berlin, Lukáš Hrádecký from Monaco, Nick Pope from Newcastle United, Juan Musso from Atlético Madrid, and Rui Silva from Sporting CP. All of them fall within Bayern Munich's discussion range. However, the report notes that Bayern Munich has not yet contacted any of the mentioned goalkeepers.

Bayern Munich is also considering Augsburg goalkeeper Finn Dahmen. The 28-year-old was recently called up by Klopp for his first training camp as Germany's coach and it is unlikely that Augsburg will block his departure. Augsburg coach Thorsten Baumgart previously told Bild: "If a player is one of the best in the Bundesliga, naturally he comes into the sights of the best teams in the Bundesliga. At Augsburg, our philosophy is to occasionally allow players whose performance could be above average to leave."

Dahmen's contract with Augsburg runs until 2027, meaning he could leave as a free agent this summer. Neuer's contract also expires then. Neuer has been at Bayern Munich for 16 years and has spoken several times in recent weeks about the end of his career. This season, the 40-year-old Neuer is nominally Bayern Munich's first-choice goalkeeper, but under an agreement between both parties, he has allowed Ulreich to play more frequently than last season. Ulreich, the former Cologne goalkeeper, has started twice this season, most recently in a Bundesliga match against Elversberg.

Due to inconsistent playing time, Klopp allowed Ulreich to play the full 90 minutes in the last two international matches against Serbia and Greece, with results of 2-0 and 0-0 respectively. Ulreich performed well in both matches and even made a crucial save in the 0-0 draw against Greece.
