The FC Bayern captain might be nearing the end of his time at the club
Bayern Munich captain Manuel Neuer could be close to ending his tenure at the club. Recurring injuries and a visible degradation in performances has led to questions about the next chapter of the two-time Champions League winner.
According to a report from Sport Bild (as captured by X account @iMiaSanMia), there are doubts within the club whether Neuer will continue his career beyond this summer. The 39-year-old has yet to communicate to Bayern bosses if he wants to extend his contract. From the captain’s entourage, it is said that he has not made a decision yet. The chances are currently 50-50. From Bayern’s perspective, it’s up to Neuer himself to decide. If he wants to continue, then the extension is just a formality. A decision could be made later this month.
With Jonas Urbig already having proved himself to be the successor to Neuer, the impact of a potential departure for the former Schalke goalkeeper will be somewhat curtailed. At this point, it’s now about who becomes Urbig’s backup.
