Neuer to extend his Bayern contract by a further year?

As long as he stays fit, Manuel Neuer can more or less decide himself whether to extend his contract, according to Bild.

Manuel Neuer could extend his Bayern Munich contract for another season.

According to Bild’s Bayern Insider podcast, as long as he remains fit, the 39-year-old can largely decide for himself whether to prolong his expiring contract by another year.

It’s also reported that, despite previously denying any interest, Neuer is open to a return to the German national team for next summer’s World Cup if needed.

Neuer has played for Bayern since 2011, with current backup goalkeeper Jonas Urbig expected to eventually succeed him as the club’s long-term number one.
