As the season nears its end, Bayern captain Manuel Neuer is once again in the spotlight. Reports suggest the 40-year-old goalkeeper has reached an agreement with club management to extend his career for another year. According to Fabrizio Romano and Sky, both parties have agreed on the contract terms, with an official signing ceremony expected in the coming days. This is reported by Goal.com reports .
Neuer has agreed to a salary reduction as part of this deal. Honorary president Uli Hoeneß has also supported the veteran goalkeeper's stay, emphasizing his continued importance to Bayern. Meanwhile, backup goalkeeper Jonas Urbig will continue to hone his skills under Neuer's guidance.
Neuer's impressive performances have sparked hopes among fans for a potential return to the Germany national team. However, the goalkeeper has repeatedly stated that he has retired from international duty and is focusing solely on Bayern. He reiterated this stance following the Champions League clash against Real Madrid.
Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann also noted that he respects Neuer's decision and is working on other plans for the national squad. Thus, the legendary goalkeeper has decided to spend the final years of his career at the Munich club.
