Bayern Munich and Sven Ulreich’s relationship has to be among the steadiest player-club relationships. Youth keepers come and go, the squad undergoes massive overhauls, and yet, the keeper remains faithful to die Roten. Since signing in 2015 from VfB Stuttgart, he has backed Manuel Neuer, barring the 2020/21 season when he played for Hamburg.
It is clear that the Bayern management trusts Ulreich — he is a solid keeper, with all the capabilities to be Neuer’s understudy and he does not seem to mind
his position and playing time. With all these in consideration, it comes as no surprise that the Bavarians have decided to extend Sven Ulreich for another year. According to @iMiaSanMia, the contract has been extended to 2026. His previous contract was a four-year, from 2021-2025.

Further, a statement from the office regarding the extension was provided. Director of sport Max Eberl called Ulreich “reliability personified”, per @iMiaSanMia.
“Characters like him are good for any team. We’re very happy to have him with us for another season,” he declared.
