Good for Bayern: Will Southampton sign Daniel Peretz permanently? | OneFootball

The goalkeeper joined Southampton in the January window after his stint at Hamburger SV was cut short by Bayern.

Peretz, who signed for Bayern in 2023, has made only four appearances for the German champions across all competitions.

Daniel Peretz: Will Southampton sign him permanently?

After struggling for opportunities at Hamburg, the 25-year-old pushed for a move and eventually secured a switch to St Mary’s.

Reports suggest he refused to train in order to force the transfer, and the move has since helped him rediscover form and confidence.

The former Maccabi Tel Aviv goalkeeper has made 13 starts in the Championship and has delivered a series of impressive performances.

He was particularly influential in Southampton’s 1-0 victory over Norwich City, with the Saints currently sitting sixth in the table.

Southampton hold an option to sign him permanently for around €8 million, a deal that could be completed even if they fail to secure promotion.

Bayern Munich’s goalkeeping situation

Christian Falk has exclusively told CFbayern that the goalkeeper situation at the German club hinges on several factors.

Manuel Neuer remains the club’s first-choice goalkeeper, but uncertainty surrounds his future amid ongoing injury concerns.

If Neuer signs a one-year extension, Jonas Urbig is expected to remain as the backup, with Sven Ulreich continuing as third choice.

However, if Neuer decides to retire, Bayern are likely to promote Urbig to the number one role.

In that scenario, Ulreich would remain in the squad, while the club would look to recruit an experienced goalkeeper for additional cover.

Alexander Nubel, currently on loan at VfB Stuttgart, could also factor into the plans, although a permanent deal would require a significant fee.

Bayern are hopeful that Southampton will exercise their option to sign Peretz at the end of the season, allowing the club to streamline their goalkeeping department.
