While Yann Sommer joined Inter Milan this summer and Manuel Neuer has not yet recovered, Bayern Munich formalized this Friday the arrival of Israeli goalkeeper Daniel Peretz, from Maccabi Tel Aviv, until 2028.
Sven Ulreich will again have competition. While Bayern Munich must deal with the uncertainty around Manuel Neuer, victim of an open tibia-fibula fracture last December, Yann Sommer arrived last winter to replace the German international in the Bavarian cage. However, the Swiss goalkeeper left Bavaria this summer to replace André Onana in the colors of Inter Milan.
With only Sven Ulreich as an experienced goalkeeper, who started as much in the defeat against RB Leipzig in the German Supercup as in the victory in Bremen at the opening of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich had to mobilize on the transfer market and had the idea of hiring a young and promising goalkeeper to build the future. Very quickly, the profile of Daniel Peretz was unanimous within the management of the German champion club. All that was missing was an agreement with Maccabi Tel Aviv, the Israeli international goalkeeper’s training club (1 selection), which was formalized this Friday via a press release.

Peretz really wanted to join Bayern
The amount of the transfer fee should flirt with five million euros for the 23-year-old player, who has signed up until June 2028. “To play for a club as big as Bayern one day is a dream for every child, said Daniel Peretz in a statement from his new club. When I heard about Bayern’s interest, I had only one wish, to come here. I can’t wait to experience whatever’s to come. »
About the goalkeeper who will wear the number 18 in his new colors, the CEO of the Bavarian formation Jan-Christian Dressen was complimentary. “With Daniel Peretz, we are really well supplied in terms of prospects in our team of goalkeepers, both for this season and for the future,” he said. Daniel is a goalkeeper with great potential. In his younger years, he has already proven his abilities not only at the national level but also in international competitions. A talent that he just has to prove at the highest level.
