MUNICH, GERMANY - MAY 2: Head coach Vincent Kompany of FC Bayern München talks to Goalkeeper Jonas Urbig of FC Bayern München during the Bundesliga match between FC Bayern München and 1. FC Heidenheim 1846 at Allianz Arena on May 2, 2026 in Munich, Germany. (Photo by Marcel Engelbrecht - firo sportphoto/Getty Images) | Getty Images Vincent Kompany is not exactly shy when it comes to discussing Jonas Urbig’s potential. With the young Bayern Munich goalkeeper receiving a call-up to Germany’s senior national team, Kompany offered a remarkably confident assessment of where he believes Urbig’s career is heading. The Bayern Munich boss made it clear that he sees the goalkeeper as much more than a promising backup for the future. “You also have to plan for the future. If anyone thinks Jonas won’t become number one in Germany, they’re making a big mistake. He’ll certainly be Germany’s number one at some point. It’s a sensible, very sound decision. Jonas has the right mentality. As a country, you have to develop your talent,” Kompany said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). That is quite the endorsement from Kompany, particularly considering the competition Urbig faces for the Germany No. 1 spot. Marc-André ter Stegen currently has the job under Jürgen Klopp, while Germany also has several other young goalkeepers pushing for opportunities. Urbig, however, has already earned the trust of Kompany at Bayern Munich and continues to develop alongside experienced goalkeeping figures such as Manuel Neuer. For Kompany, the Germany call-up is about more than simply rewarding Urbig for his recent progress. It is part of developing the next generation of German talent. Whether Urbig eventually becomes Germany’s No. 1 remains to be seen, but Kompany clearly believes the Bayern Munich goalkeeper has the mentality and ability to reach that level.

Le chef du MoDem François Bayrou a détaillé, ce dimanche 20 septembre, les conditions de sa primaire «du grand fleuve central», qu'il appelle de ses voeux, mais sans réel soutien. «On ne peut pas se permettre le luxe de la division au premier tour». À l'occasion de la rentrée du MoDem à l'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (Vaucluse), l'ancien Premier ministre François Bayrou a grandement évoqué l'élection présidentielle, en détaillant notamment les conditions dans lesquelles il souhaiterait créer une primaire, dont le but serait de maximiser les chances de victoire contre Jean-Luc Mélenchon et Marine Le Pen. Le patron du MoDem a détaillé les conditions d'accès à sa primaire, qu'il aimerait organiser «avant la fin octobre» : le parrainage de dix parlementaires serait nécessaire pour chaque participant. «Après, on a deux mois pour qu'il y ait confrontation entre les uns et les autres, que les chaînes de télévision organisent des débats, qu'on organise des ...

SITTARD - Goalkeeper Marc ter Stegen of AFC Ajax after the Eredivisie match between Fortuna Sittard and AFC Ajax at the Fortuna Sittard Stadium on September 12, 2026 in Sittard, the Netherlands. KEVIN SENDERS / ANP (Photo by ANP via Getty Images) | ANP via Getty Images Germany takes on the Netherlands on September 24th to begin its Nations League group stage campaign — and usher in the new Jürgen Klopp era. Standing between the sticks, at long last, will be Marc-André ter Stegen. Long in Manuel Neuer’s shadow in the national team picture, Ter Stegen saw his chance vanish with injury during World Cup qualifying and subsequently Neuer’s return for the tournament itself. Now Neuer is retired, Oliver Baumann’s time appears to be over, and Ter Stegen — still under contract at FC Barcelona but playing this season on loan at Ajax — is finally back in the limelight. At least for now. “Yes, for the moment, Marc-André ter Stegen is number 1,” Klopp confirmed in a press conference this week (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “He will start the first game. A team needs stability and a core, and then you can surround that with plenty of young players. “I’ve known Marc for ages. Manuel Neuer was the best goalkeeper in the world for a long time. Nevertheless, everyone knew that Ter Stegen was world-class too. He then suffered an injury at an unfortunate time. At the moment, he is fit and is the same goalkeeper he was before. He brings experience with him. He is making a very good impression at Ajax. Everything depends on how he will perform.” BFW Analysis This is going to be an intriguing international period for Germany, to say the least. New coach, new format, four games, and two whole separate squads to split between them. It’s hard to tell what to make of any of the call-ups. Klopp is trying to get a look at as many players as he can, and that just doesn’t reveal much about how settled any particular position is. Including goalkeeper. Ter Stegen might have the role locked down now, but several factors point against him keeping it. He’ll be 36 by the time EURO 2028 rolls around, which is hardly a barrier for his position but far past spring chicken territory also. That’s also the year his Barça contract expires, and it is hardly a good sign that he is already looking well on his way out. Then there’s the matter of his injury history, which has played a role in both some of his unfortunate Germany missed opportunities as well as the loss of his club spot. All that said, it does make some sense that it is his position to lose. There’s an all-out brawl brewing for the future of the Germany GK position, post-Manuel Neuer. The remaining contenders include Bayern’s Jonas Urbig, who hasn’t yet taken the mantle in Bavaria but is expected to be just about to. Noah Atubolu is young and in the midst of moving clubs, from SC Freiburg to Eintracht Frankfurt. And Augsburg’s Finn Dahmen is a relative unknown on the international stage. It’s very possible one of those three will be the man by the summer of 2028. And it would be fitting that they have to take the job from Ter Stegen first. Stability and core — then the contest for the future of Germany’s #1 shirt. Join the conversation! Sign up for a user account and get: New, improved notifications system!
