Neuer replacement? New lead points to Affengruber's teammate
Bayern is currently intensely scouting the goalkeeper market. Is a keeper from the Premier League coming?
Manuel Neuer is highly likely to end his career at the end of the current season.
His designated successor, Jonas Urbig, is already ready.
However, FC Bayern officials want to install a reliable and experienced number two behind him. Recently, two candidates, Finn Dahmen from FC Augsburg and Marvin Schwäbe from 1. FC Köln, were already being discussed.
Now, "Bild" is bringing another name into play. According to reports, the German record champions are showing interest in Bernd Leno from FC Fulham.
Played seven years at Leverkusen
At the Premier League club, Leno plays alongside Austrian international David Affengruber. The 34-year-old's contract expires in 2027, which would make him available on a free transfer next summer.
With 256 appearances in the Premier League and 233 Bundesliga games, Leno brings plenty of experience. He has also made nine international appearances for the German national team.
