Bayern Munich prefer to sign Baumann as backup goalkeeper

Bayern Munich prefer to sign Oliver Baumann, the TSG 1899 Hoffenheim goalkeeper, during the upcoming summer transfer window, as his characteristics and experience fit the team's needs, according to "Sky Germany".

Yonas Oerbig is set to become Bayern Munich's new first-choice goalkeeper, while the club is looking for an experienced keeper to take on the backup role ahead of next season.

Bayern Munich have not yet entered into any discussions with candidates for this position, as there are still additional internal meetings and discussions to determine the most suitable option.

Baumann faces a choice between moving to Bayern Munich or embarking on a new experience, or continuing his journey with TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and attempting to break the record for the most appearances in the Bundesliga, which stands at 603 matches.

The 36-year-old goalkeeper could achieve this goal if he participates in all remaining matches and decides to extend his contract with TSG 1899 Hoffenheim for an additional period, potentially until 2029.
