It is still unclear what will happen next for Manuel Neuer. The decision as to whether he will extend his contract for another year or stop will probably be made soon.
Is this another indication of a possible contract extension for Manuel Neuer at FC Bayern? On Monday morning, the German record champions presented their new jerseys for the coming season. This also includes Munich’s new goalkeeper jersey. In focus: Manuel Neuer. He presents the new orange home jersey for the goalkeepers. Fans can also choose his name for the new shirt that Bayern will wear for the first time in the semi-final second leg of the Champions League against Paris St. Germain on Wednesday (from 9 p.m. in the live ticker on t-online).
Manuel Neuer’s contract expires at the end of the season. A contract extension has not yet been officially confirmed. However, according to media reports, there appears to be progress. At the end of last week, Neuer’s agent, Thomas Kroth, also showed up at the club premises.
According to the pay-TV broadcaster Sky and the “Bild” newspaper, negotiations for a new contract began on Thursday, but there is no agreement yet. It shouldn’t take both parties too long to reach a common denominator. Sports director Max Eberl has emphasized several times in the past that the German record champions would like to extend the contract with Neuer and are waiting for a corresponding signal.
The role of Jonas Urbig is also likely to be part of the discussions between Neuer and Bayern. According to Sky, the young goalkeeper, who has already made 18 appearances this season due to injuries to his experienced colleague, will receive even more playing minutes in the coming season, and Neuer would also have to accept a reduction in salary.
Manuel Neuer has won numerous titles in almost 15 years at FC Bayern: In addition to 13 championships and six DFB Cup victories, there is also a double triumph in the Champions League. A third “handle pot” could be added this season.
