Bayern Munich is pushing to extend veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer’s contract until June 2027, aiming to keep the 39-year-old playing years beyond his reported retirement plans.
According to the German press, the club has already presented Neuer with a renewal proposal.
This comes despite earlier indications from Neuer himself that he planned to retire at the end of the current season.
Neuer has featured in 14 of Bayern’s 17 games this season. He continues to display exceptional qualities in goal, despite his age.
Sources close to the player indicate Neuer has promised to make a definitive decision during the upcoming winter break. This decision would respond to the club’s strong desire for him to continue.
Club officials are reportedly very impressed by Neuer’s professionalism throughout his tenure in Munich.
They highlight his continued dedication, including daily physiotherapy sessions, muscle strengthening after every training, and additional weekly gym sessions.
