Bayern captain Manuel Neuer (39) dodged the question about when his contract extension in Munich would be possible – also with a lot of humor. “I have to look after my bones. It’s already late and I’m noticing it again now. Let’s see what it’s like when I get up,” said the 39-year-old after the German record champions’ 4-0 win in the Champions League against Club Bruges.
The contract of the DFB record goalkeeper, who has been in the Bayern goal since summer 2011, expires at the end of the season. An extension for another year is a much-discussed option and would once again postpone the generational change in the Munich goal with Alexander Nübel (29), who was loaned out to VfB Stuttgart. According to the “Sports pictureIf Neuer were to extend his contract, he would finally part ways with Nübel.
When the long-time national goalkeeper was asked what he normally feels like when he gets up, he joked: “Yes, the doctor is just walking past now. I have to wait a moment.” Then he smiled mischievously and said: “There are good days – and better days.”
Neuer is happy about Kompany’s extension at FC Bayern
After the twelfth win in the twelfth game of the season and the third success in the Champions League, the Munich team are in second place in the premier class table behind defending champions Paris Saint-Germain. In two weeks there will be a direct duel with PSG in the French capital.
Coach Vincent Kompany has already extended his contract. The Belgian coach signed a new contract early the day before the Bruges game until June 30, 2029. “I just think it’s the logical step. I think he’s doing a very good job with his team. It’s fun to play in this team,” said Neuer.
