Following EURO 2024, long time captain and primary goalkeeper Manuel Neuer revealed his retirement from worldwide play. The Bayern Munich legend will be thought about irreplaceable however according to the guidelines, German head coach Julian Nagelsmann needs to play someone at the position.

In an interview leading up to the worldwide break (through @iMiaSanMia), Nagelsmann stated, “Marc-André (ter Stegen) is the new number one. He has been captain in Barcelona for several years and is the clear number one there. He’s the same with us. I don’t want to artificially heat up the competition behind him. Oliver Baumann played very well last season and also made a good impression during the European Championship. Alexander Nübel also performed well in Stuttgart last year. The battle behind him is open, including with Kevin Trapp and Bernd Leno. The important thing is that the number one is decided.”

Marc-André ter Stegen has actually been the second goalkeeper for Germany for a variety of years behind Neuer, so it’s sensible that he gets the very first fracture at the task. But Nagelsmann sensibly noted Bayern loanee Nübel, together with Baumann, Trapp, and Leno as prospective alternatives moving on.
