FC Bayern Munich is looking for a possible successor to Manuel Neuer and seems to have struck gold.
Munich – There has been a lot of unrest at FC Bayern Munich for a few weeks.
It's not just on the field that things are anything but smooth, there are also evident discrepancies in the management floor.
FCB has already lost two of the three possible titles and coach Thomas Tuchel's team has to fight hard for the third.
CEO Oliver Kahn is no longer firmly in the saddle and Sadio Mané is more conspicuous with his fists in the dressing room than with his performances on the pitch.

Bayern Munich interested in Dutch goalkeeper?
Things are simmering at FC Bayern Munich, with important decisions about squad planning for the coming season.
High on the list is the question of the future in the goal of the German record champions.
With Manuel Neuer, who is still injured, his substitute Yann Sommer and Alexander Nübel, three keepers are under contract with FC Bayern for the coming season.
In the long term, however, someone completely different could become the new number one, because according to information from the Dutch daily
Nieuwsblad
there is interest in Bart Verbruggen.

The 20-year-old is under contract with Belgian club RSC Anderlecht and is one of the most promising goalkeepers in Europe.
Despite his young age, the Dutchman has already fought for a regular place between the posts in Anderlecht.
FC Bayern Munich has a plan with Verbruggen
Verbruggen went through the youth department of NAC Breda and joined RSC Anderlecht in 2019 for €300,000.
There it developed rapidly and currently has a market value of five million euros - and the trend is rising.
His contract in Anderlecht runs until mid-2025, but those responsible at the Belgian club are willing to talk about a transfer for the 20-year-old.

Should FC Bayern Munich want to sign the young goalkeeper, a transfer fee of ten million euros would be due, according to the Dutch daily
Nieuwsblad.
The keeper would not be an immediate solution for the German record champions.
The plan is to sign him and loan him out directly so that he can develop at a high level and eventually succeed Neuer.
