Bayern Munich is already planning for the future, with 22-year-old Japanese-Ghanaian goalkeeper Zion Suzuki emerging as a top contender to succeed Manuel Neuer.
With the legendary Neuer approaching the final stages of his illustrious career at 38, the Bavarian giants are beginning to scout potential replacements.
Suzuki, currently playing for Parma in Italy, has impressed with his performances, earning a spot as the first-choice goalkeeper for the Japanese national team. His market value stands at €9 million, according to Transfermarkt, and Bayern is keen to bring the young talent into its fold as Neuer’s eventual heir.
While Neuer will remain at Bayern for at least another season, the club’s management is already turning its focus to long-term options in goal, and Suzuki fits the bill. With his growing reputation in Serie A and on the international stage, Suzuki could be the next big name to make the leap to one of Europe’s top clubs.
