Bayern Munich want to sign a goalkeeper following the injury to Germany captain Manuel Neuer but the options on the transfer market in the winter period are limited, coach Julian Nagelsmann said on Thursday.
Speaking in Doha, at the end of a one-week training camp ahead of the Bundesliga season restart next week, Nagelsmann said that, while 34-year-old Sven Ulreich was ready to step in to replace Neuer, the club still needed another keeper.
“Our job is to look at the market, although it’s difficult n the winter (transfer window) to find goalkeepers as there are not that many options on the market that make sense for us,” Nagelsmann told a news conference.
“It is a complex market, the one for goalkeepers. We are trying to do something. Ulreich has done it well in training here but we are obliged to bring in another keeper, irrespective of who is number one and two.”
Neuer was ruled out for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on a broken bone on his leg following a skiing accident.
