"After finalizing the extensions for Neuer and longtime backup Sven Ulreich, Bayern has set the pecking order for the upcoming year, according to Florian Plettenberg (via @iMiaSanMia_Ger). Manuel Neuer: Number one option Jonas Urbig: Should get more games than in the current season (18 games) Sven Ulreich: Can extend if he wants to; talks are ongoing Leonard Prescott: Loan is possible or he stays & continues to develop"
"In addition, both goalkeepers out on loan will not to return to Bayern. Alexander Nübel will likely be sold and Southampton will exercise the purchase option on the loan deal for Daniel Peretz."
