Bayern Munich News: Leon Goretzka to Atlético Madrid?; Will FC Bayern make a play for FC…

❌ It is NOT TRUE: Bayern want to sign Marc-André ter Stegen. He’s a really good goalkeeper, but there are no meetings taking place within the club to discuss him signing for FC Bayern. There is an interesting set of circumstances at the club. As we know, Jonas Urbig is considered the backup and eventual successor to first-choice Manuel Neuer. Urbig also shares the same agent as Ter Stegen, so they don’t want to bring a rival into the club.

That all said, Ter Stegen knows he has to move if he wants to play in the World Cup for Germany. This is why there is so much speculation around his future. I think an idea like Manchester United, for example, is more plausible. Otherwise, there are many interested clubs; Besiktas would be a relatively easy move for the Barcelona star in order to get playing time, as he has no chance of playing next year for Barca; Hansi Flick is very clear on this position.

Neuer is still, firmly, the number one goalkeeper at Bayern Munich, so it wouldn’t make any sense to bring Marc-André ter Stegen in. He’s already been sitting on the bench for the German national team behind Manuel Neuer, and he won’t do it at Bayern!
