"[Bayern's sporting management] Max Eberl, Christoph Freund, Michael Rechner, everyone was convinced that Jonas will be a very good goalkeeper for us and also for Germany in the future,"
"He learned a lot from Manu and worked very hard in training. He has a great character. He's being calmly built up alongside one of the best goalkeepers of all time. His development is interesting and the cooperation with Manu is going perfectly."
Jonas Urbig has been regarded as one of Germany's biggest goalkeeping talents for years. He primarily developed in the 2. Bundesliga, accumulating 60 appearances for various clubs. Bayern Munich signed him in January 2025 while he was on FC Köln's bench, a calculated risk by the club's sporting management. Urbig started and kept a clean sheet in Bayern's 4-0 Bundesliga win over Heidenheim. Head coach Vincent Kompany praised Urbig's learning from Manuel Neuer, his work ethic, character, and steady integration. Urbig finished his first year at Bayern with 11 Bundesliga matches and key Champions League knockout appearances.
