Bayern Munich Poised to Rival PSG for €22M-Rated Brighton Ace as Manuel Neuer Successor | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain are facing uncertainty about their goalkeeping situation, particularly with Gianluigi Donnarumma’s future up in the air. If the club chooses to part ways with the 25-year-old, they’ll need to explore the transfer market for a replacement.

Despite being under contract until 2026, Donnarumma’s performances have been inconsistent, with costly errors raising concerns over the years. It seems PSG might be losing patience and could be evaluating alternatives for the long term.

A January move for a goalkeeper appears unlikely, but the summer transfer window could see the club targeting a reliable option to strengthen the position.

According to a recent report from PSG Inside Actus, the Parisians are monitoring five potential candidates, including Brighton & Hove Albion’s standout, Bart Verbruggen.

Sky Sports’ Florian Plettenberg reports that Bayern Munich are interested in signing Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen as a potential successor to Manuel Neuer. Neuer’s contract with the Bavarian club runs until the end of the 2024-25 season, but negotiations for a new deal have yet to occur.

The 22-year-old Dutch goalkeeper is considered one of Europe’s top young talents. His performances in the Premier League have caught the eye of several clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain.

Under contract with Brighton until 2028, the 22-year-old has featured in 14 matches across all competitions this season, keeping three clean sheets and conceding 21 goals. Transfermarkt values him at €22 million.
