Fulham star may have given transfer chances a boost – Backing player for future

Fulham goalkeeper Leno praised Bayern Munich's Jonas Urbig, fuelling speculation about a potential move to Bavaria next summer when his contract expires.

Bernd Leno is on Bayern Munich's radar as they plan for life after Manuel Neuer's retirement at the end of the season. The Fulham goalkeeper's contract expires next summer, making him an attractive free option.

Leno recently praised Jonas Urbig in an interview, the goalkeeper Bayern are grooming as Neuer's successor, which has sparked talk that the move could appeal to him — particularly as it would bring him closer to his family in Munich.
