"Bayern will pay Köln over €1m once Jonas Urbig has played a competitive game for the national team. Köln have also received an extra €2m after Urbig made 30 competitive appearances for Bayern. Bayern had paid a fixed fee of €7m in January 2025, which in total can go up to €15m if all add-on clauses are reached."
"Urbig looks like a worthy successor to Manuel Neuer and has had a seamless integration into the notoriously fickle goalkeeper group for the Bavarians. Urbig has been so good in his limited appearances that he is even under consideration for the German national team at this summer's FIFA World Cup, despite his lack of playing time."
"This is one of those problems that are good to have and a cost that Bayern Munich is undoubtedly happy to pay. It would be an incredible moment if Urbig gets the call for Germany and one that not many people would have seen coming just 17 months ago."
Bayern Munich acquired goalkeeper Jonas Urbig from FC Köln in January 2025. Urbig has integrated smoothly into Bayern’s goalkeeper setup and has performed well in limited appearances. His form has led to consideration for the German national team for the FIFA World Cup, despite limited playing time. The transfer includes conditional payments to Köln. Bayern will pay more than €1m if Urbig plays a competitive match for the national team. Köln will also receive an additional €2m after Urbig reaches 30 competitive appearances for Bayern. Bayern initially paid €7m, with total costs potentially rising to €15m through add-ons.
