Sven Ulreich performance not really quit well with Bayern Munich in this season, have played 9 matches all competition between Bundesliga and UEFA Champion League have conceded 10 goals with 6 goals in domestic league and 4 goals in Champion League. Seems very poor performance and Bayern Munich not try to sign new goals keeper to be competitor for Sven Ulreich. Have rumor to sign David De Gea but Bayern Munich not reach agreement deal actually De Gea have impressive performance with Manchester United and become free agent make Munich doesn't have spent money for transfer fees. Looking on Sven Ulreich performance, its not late for Bayern Munich sign new goal keeper waiting with Manuel Neuer from injury, still have many matches left and David De Gea as free agent can sign anytime without waiting with transfer window opening and already playing for Bayern Munich.
Naturally, I think it's not a loss to be a free transfer. But it seems Tuchel is not thinking about this. Even though Nuer is a good goalkeeper. But he's recovering and not necessarily playing well. This is because he has been 37 years old and it is not young anymore. De Gea is still 32 years old. It's still quite a while that he will have a career. Goalkeepers don't need much physical strength to run.
it makes sense if Tuchel tries to replace his goalkeeper with another more experienced player like De Gea but to be honest I actually dont see a big problem with Sven Ulreich as far as guarding Bayern Munich goal, hes not that careful, he just sometimes experiences carelessness and this is normal because all players will experiencing the same thing.
from several cases, I think a little that the reason Tuchel did not glance at De Gea seems to be because Tuchel thought that De Gea would not renew his contract at Man United because his performance had declined, so Tuchel doubted this and chose Sven Ulreich as his mainstay goalkeeper.
I cant help but wonder: is age the real barrier here? Ulreich at 35 and Neuer at 37 - arent we essentially discussing the same age bracket? Its hilarious when you think about it! I've been thinking, what if Tuchel's decision was less about age and more about financial aspects or the compatibility of playing styles? If De Gea did indeed ask for a sky-high salary, it's no wonder Bayern might've backed off. Tuchel probably has a vision for his squad, and if De Gea doesnt fit into that, so be it. But, Im just hypothesizing here. Who knows the real goings-on behind those closed club doors?
