According to Sky Sports, Toulouse FC goalkeeper Guillaume Restes (18) has been added to FC Bayern’s shortlist of potential candidates to succeed Manuel Neuer (37).
Restes has been one of the few satisfactions for Toulouse this season, as the club is currently 15th in Ligue 1, only three points ahead of last place Olympique Lyonnais. The 18-year-old has had a meteoric rise since debuting with the club during pre-season, becoming their starter ahead of summer signing Álex Domínguez (25), and even becoming the number one goalkeeper for Thierry Henry’s France u-21 squad as well.
Restes joins Mike Maignan, Daniel Peretz and Alexander Nübel in Bayern’s goalkeeper shortlist
His outstanding performances have therefore caught the eye of the German giants, who are avidly searching for a new goalkeeper to replace Neuer, who is approaching the end of his career. Among other potential successors are Daniel Peretz (23), who arrived at the club last summer, ex-Monaco keeper Alexander Nübel (27), who is on loan at VfB Stuttgart from Bayern, and Mike Maignan (28), who is reportedly also being monitored by Chelsea FC and Manchester United.
No doubt Bayern’s interest will encourage Restes to continue his progression as one of the most promising goalkeepers in the world.
