The next personnel decision at FC Bayern is on the horizon – and it concerns the goalkeeper position. Daniel Peretz is apparently on the verge of a permanent departure from Munich. According to the latest reports, the Israeli could move to Southampton FC permanently in the summer
There have been signs for months that Peretz no longer has a future at FC Bayern. The 25-year-old no longer plays a role in the plans of those responsible – despite having a contract until 2028
The early termination of his loan at Hamburger SV in the winter was the first clear signal. Instead, he moved to Southampton FC, where the situation suddenly improved for the keeper
Regular place in England as a turning point
Peretz immediately made a name for himself at the Saints, appearing in 24 competitive matches between the posts and impressing with consistent performances
This development has not only stabilized his market value, but also increased the interest of the English in signing him permanently
The contractual constellation is particularly interesting: Southampton are said to have secured a purchase option worth 8.5 million euros. According to the BBC, this could even become an obligation to buy – but only on one condition: promotion to the Premier League
Southampton finished fourth in the Championship and narrowly missed out on direct promotion, but are still fighting to return to England’s top flight via the play-offs
A sale would be economically attractive for FC Bayern. Peretz was signed in the summer of 2023 for around five million euros
A transfer for €8.5 million would therefore represent a clear profit – an aspect that plays an important role in current squad planning
For Peretz himself, the move to England could be the right move at the right time. While he failed to make his breakthrough in Munich, he has established himself as a regular goalkeeper at Southampton
Should the Saints achieve promotion, the transfer should quickly become a formality. For FC Bayern, it would be a clean finish – both in sporting and economic terms. Even if the club does not win promotion, there is much to suggest that Peretz will remain at Southampton. Those in charge there are very happy with the goalkeeper and are very open to a permanent signing.
