At Bayern Munich, stability is essential. While Manuel Neuer seriously injured his leg following a skiing accident last winter, the Munich leaders did not want to disrupt their plan. Indeed, the world champion being number 1, a replacement was sought for him and Yann Sommer thus joined Säbener Straße for a successful 6-month interim. This season, Sven Ulreich finally had his chance to replace Neuer for three months.
And while Neuer is now back, Ulreich has returned to his understudy role which suits him perfectly. Thriving in this role which he has fulfilled since 2015, the 35-year-old goalkeeper will renew his contract in the coming days. Indeed, according to information from Sky SportsBayern and Ulreich have agreed on an extension of his lease until 2025. Despite the arrival of Daniel Peretz, Ulreich continues to be favored by management for his professionalism and his new contract should be initialed before Christmas according to the publication across the Rhine.
