For Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn, contract talks with the biggest, club-defining icons of Munich have the highest priority in the near future. “Whether it’s Manuel Neuer, whether it’s Robert Lewandowski, whether it’s Thomas Müller – they are all greats of this club, all players who can also be credited with the successes of the last decade and the current successes,” said Kahn on Wednesday in Munich in a round of video interviews.
“It goes without saying that we exchange ideas with all these players in order to understand what they are thinking and what they want. Of course, that’s right at the top of our agenda in the near future,” said Kahn. He trusts Neuer (35) that he can break the age limit of 40 in professional football.
Recently, there was speculation that Neuer (35), whose working paper is dated June 30, 2023, will soon be extending his contract by two more years. The contracts of Müller (32) and world footballer Lewandowski (33) also run until 2023. Lewandowski is “an absolute phenomenon,” said Kahn. He is good for 25, 30 or probably more goals every season. He is an “insurance” for FC Bayern. “Of course we will do everything we can to keep Robert with us for as long as possible.”
