Manuel Neuer could extend his Bayern Munich contract for another season.
According to Bild’s Bayern Insider podcast, as long as he remains fit, the 39-year-old can largely decide for himself whether to prolong his expiring contract by another year.
It’s also reported that, despite previously denying any interest, Neuer is open to a return to the German national team for next summer’s World Cup if needed.
Neuer has played for Bayern since 2011, with current backup goalkeeper Jonas Urbig expected to eventually succeed him as the club’s long-term number one.
Quick take: Transfer watch: this move could reshape selection options and tactical balance in coming weeks. If incentives and add-ons are confirmed, expect follow-up negotiations or medicals to move quickly. We’ll keep an eye on confirmed details as the story develops from official sources.
