Sources close to the situation indicate that Everton are confident the 32-year-old will remain at the club, where he is contracted until 2029. Bayern are reportedly interested in the goalkeeper, although they are not believed to be close to making a formal approach.
Pickford has remained committed to Everton through challenging periods and continues to be a key figure for both club and country. His performances have helped him maintain his position as England’s first-choice goalkeeper, although competition from Manchester City’s James Trafford has emerged.
A potential move to Bayern could offer Pickford the opportunity to compete for major trophies. The German champions have been linked with the Everton captain as they consider their goalkeeping options for the future.
However, a transfer is far from certain. Flashscore’s sources suggest Pickford is settled on Merseyside and is not actively seeking a departure.
Bayern’s reported interest also comes amid uncertainty over the long-term future of veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. Nevertheless, separate reports indicate that Bayern are not currently pursuing Pickford, with the club assessing other options for their goalkeeping department.
Everton secured Pickford’s future with a contract extension in October 2025, keeping him at the club until 2029. The goalkeeper has previously spoken about his desire to build a legacy at Everton.
For now, the reported Bayern interest has not developed into a formal transfer move, and Everton remain confident that their experienced goalkeeper will stay.
