“I never said that I absolutely have to end my career in Germany. But I also didn’t say that I did FC Bayern will leave. (…) I feel good at Bayern and have goals with the team. So it should go on for the time being. “This statement by Manuel Neuer is only a few weeks old. In the “kicker” the national goalkeeper spoke in detail about his plans for the future.

Trainer decides on contract extension

But something has changed since then. FC Bayern has Alexander Nübel signed as new goalkeeper from summer. The 23-year-old is set to become the number one champion in the long term. Until then, Nübel has to queue up behind. After all, Manuel Neuer is still under contract with FC Bayern and is currently in excellent shape. But next year Neuer is supposed to hand over some games to Nübel so that he can get practice. At least that is the plan of Bavaria, several media report unanimously.

But Neuer obviously doesn’t feel like it. At 33, however, he is still far from the end of his career and feels in top shape. He doesn’t want to spend games on the bench. Not even if it is in favor of a young talent. The goalkeeper should have made it clear in recent contract talks with Bayern, report “Sport Bild” and “Kicker”.

The fact that these details came out publicly “irritated” Neuer, said the “kicker” on Monday. Unaffected by this, he continues to plan to extend his 2021 contract in Munich. However, whether he does this depends on who FC Bayern is sitting on the bench as a coach from summer. Should Hansi Flick winning the bid, Neuer would probably stay. The national goalkeeper appreciates the interim coach very much.
