Manuel Neuer’s contract with FC Bayern runs until 2023. After the last extension had dragged on, everything could now go very quickly.
Munich - What's up there in the bush?
According to information from
SportBild,
Manuel Neuer is
in contract talks with FC Bayern - and according to
Sport1
,
the world goalkeeper and the record champions
could agree
on an extension this year
.
Neuer's working paper currently runs until 2023. In May of last year, after tough and sometimes intensive negotiations, the captain and FC Bayern finally agreed on a contract extension.
The 35-year-old is one of the top earners on Säbener Strasse.
Allegedly, Neuer is aiming for an extension of two years, but according to
Sport1
a contract end on June 30, 2026 would be conceivable.
The keeper would then be 40 years old at the time.
Quite possible, because Neuer recently said in an interview with
Bild am Sonntag
: “There is no age requirement for me.
I'm not saying that it's over at 40. "
Manuel Neuer: Contract hammer!
Is everything going very quickly with the FCB keeper?
This is bitter news for Alexander Nübel.
The goalkeeper, who switched to FC Bayern in the summer of 2020 and was to be set up there as a new successor, would have to line up further back.
Nübel is currently on loan to AS Monaco.
Should Neuer really soon renew, the signs at Nübel point to a final farewell!
“What I can no longer imagine is coming back and not getting any more games,” said the 25-year-old last in an interview with
kicker
: “I'm ruling out that.
What Manu does beyond 2023, I will react to it when the time comes. "

"Best goalkeeper in the world"
Neuer has been playing for FC Bayern since 2011.
At that time he moved to the Isar for the transfer of 30 million from FC Schalke.
In the meantime, the Gelsenkirchen native has settled in Bavaria and recently received the Bavarian Cross of Merit.
He lives in a house on Tegernsee and recently bought
an apartment in the Lehel district of
Munich, according to
Bild
.
With 450 games in the Bayern jersey, he is still well behind today's FCB boss Oliver Kahn (632) and legend Sepp Maier (661).
Neuer is
unlikely to break
this mark by 2026 either, but it may not even end after that ...
