1. FC Köln goalkeeper Jonas Ürbig has been reported to not be interested in extending his current contract with FC Köln, with his current deal running out in 2026.

After the clear statement made in the summer by newly appointed Köln coach Gerhard Struber, Jonas Ürbig managed to take the number one spot in goal for the Billy Goats this campaign over previous first-choice last season Marvin Schwäbe.

With a shaky start, conceding two goals in his first and second games this season against Hamburg and Elversberg, some fans had questioned his ability especially as he conceded a blunder for the first goal of this 2. Bundesliga campaign against HSV.

However, he has managed to somewhat steady the ship and has kept clean sheets against Braunschweig and Ulm in the games since then.

At only twenty-one-years-old, Urbig looks likely to move to a Bundesliga club next season with Bayern Munich having monitoring him since spring this year as a replacement for Manuel Neuer (Florian Plettenberg on X (formerly Twitter)).

As the current number one for the under-21 Germany side, there is a lot suggesting his chances of being the go-to choice in the future for the senior side are high.
