Schalke goalkeeper Loris Karius has been included among the candidates for Bayern’s backup goalkeeper role, Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg reported.
The former Liverpool goalkeeper has attracted the Munich club’s attention because of his experience and strong performances. Fulham’s Bernd Leno and Hoffenheim’s Oliver Baumann are also on the shortlist.
Bayern plan to sign a backup goalkeeper in the summer, when Manuel Neuer’s contract expires. Jonas Urbig is expected to become the club’s first-choice goalkeeper.
