Bayern Munich is reportedly exploring the possibility of signing Finn Dahmen, with Augsburg's coach Manuel Baum indicating he would not prevent the goalkeeper from leaving if Bayern expresses genuine interest. Baum stated in an interview with Bild, "If someone is among the best in the Bundesliga, then he is certainly a topic for the best teams in the Bundesliga. At Augsburg, it is already part of the philosophy that you sometimes let players go who perhaps perform above average."

Baum praised Dahmen, noting he is currently among the top goalkeepers in the league, which explains Bayern's interest. He mentioned that discussions regarding Dahmen's future at Augsburg are ongoing, stating, "Of course there are talks with Finn."
According to the podcast 'Bayern Insider', Dahmen is being considered as a potential backup goalkeeper at Bayern Munich, given that the current first-choice keeper, Manuel Neuer, and number three, Sven Ulreich, have contracts that expire in 2027, both of which could lead to their retirement next summer. Jonas Urbig is seen as Neuer's potential successor at Bayern, having already made two appearances this season, and the club is focused on developing him for that role.
Dahmen, 28, joined Augsburg from Mainz 05 in 2023 and has solidified his position as the clear number one goalkeeper since his arrival. With 101 Bundesliga matches under his belt, he is also part of the DFB squad, having been nominated by Germany's new coach Jürgen Klopp, although he is still awaiting his first international cap. His contract with Augsburg runs until 2027, and he could be available on a free transfer next summer.
As of now, 'Bayern Insider' reports that no formal talks have occurred between Bayern Munich and Dahmen; however, the club is internally discussing the player's potential acquisition.
