United ‘very close’ to Darwin Nunez signing, Timber agent at United office “I would be second choice behind David de Gea, who has been one of the Premier League’s best keepers for years.
“But anything can happen in football. The performance principle applies. As a result, even big stars can sit on the subs’ bench.”
Bachmann joined Watford from Stoke in 2017 and made 12 Premier League appearances this season.
He previously told Austrian daily Krone: “I am happy at Watford, and have a contract until 2024. My only thought now is on us going straight back up to the Premier League. Everything else is out of my hands.”
