FC Bayern’s planning for the goalkeeper position continues – now a new, surprising name has appeared on the Munich team’s list
As reported by Sport BILD, the record champions are looking at Daniel Heuer Fernandes from Hamburger SV. The 33-year-old could play a role in Bayern’s plans this summer
Background: Various scenarios are still being worked on in Munich for the coming season – especially in the event that Manuel Neuer ends his career or does not extend his contract
According to the report, FC Bayern are looking for an experienced goalkeeper who could act as a backup behind Jonas Urbig in the future. In this context, Heuer Fernandes is also said to have been discussed internally
The HSV keeper has a wealth of experience and has been one of Hamburg’s key players for years. He has already made numerous appearances this season and has further underlined his role as a leading player
Future of Heuer Fernandes open
The situation at HSV has not yet been conclusively clarified. Although his contract is automatically extended under certain conditions, talks about a longer-term collaboration are still ongoing
The goalkeeper is said to feel comfortable in principle, but is demanding a significant pay rise. An agreement has yet to be reached and talks are due to continue in April
If no agreement is reached, a transfer in the summer could become an issue – especially as Heuer Fernandes is said to have received inquiries from abroad
Bayern examines several scenarios
For FC Bayern, the goalkeeper issue is closely linked to Manuel Neuer’s decision. At the same time, the Munich club is sounding out the market in order to be prepared for all eventualities
With Heuer Fernandes, another name has now been added to the list of potential candidates, although it remains to be seen whether this will actually materialize
One thing is certain: Bayern are keeping several options open – and are also looking at surprising solutions.
