Bayern Munich monitoring Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen - but Manuel Neuer plan may put Dutch star off

<p>According to <a href="https://x.com/Plettigoal/status/1844777379660710179" target="_blank">journalist Florian Plettenberg,</a> Bayern are keeping tabs on Verbruggen - whose contract at Brighton runs until 2028. They are, however, also monitoring FC Koln's Jonas Urbig - who has just under two years left on his deal. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Despite that, Plettenberg adds that Bayern are trying to extend the contract of 38-year-old Neuer, after 13 years with the Bundesliga giants. Moreover, they see 28-year-old Alexander Nubel - who is on loan at Stuttgart - as his long-term successor, which may cause Verbruggen some concern.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Verbruggen swapped Anderlecht for Brighton for £16.3 million ($21.3m) in the summer of 2023 on a five-year deal. The 22-year-old has since gone on to become a regular for the Netherlands' national team but his form has been somewhat up and down for Brighton - with Jason Steele sometimes preferred between the sticks.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>While Vincent Kompany's Bayern try to extend Neuer's contract, which expires next summer, and they monitor Verbruggen and Urbig, they return to Bundesliga action at home to Stuttgart on Saturday, October 19. </p>

WHAT NEXT?
