Returned to the Bayern supervisory board in July 2023, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge also spoke about the future of the Bavarian symbol Manuel Neuer in a long exclusive interview with Kickerseven causing surprise with some statements. Asked whether Neuer’s contract will be renewed, the Bayern manager replied: “I don’t know. But everyone at the club knows what importance he has for Bayern Munich. I find it almost surprising how quickly he returned to playing the game à la Pep Guardiola. And he’s doing it well.”
According to information from Sport Bild, the five-time best goalkeeper in the world would like to extend his contract with the Germans again and play until 2026. But there is no rush on the part of the club. Talks with Neuer will not take place until next spring. From Neuer’s point of view, the goal seems clear: the goalkeeper should want to continue his career in the 2025/26 season.
And in case Neuer leaves when his contract expires next year, Bayern are already covered. Because in the summer Alexander Nübel (28) signed a new five-year contract with Bayern, demonstrating how much the Bavarian club believes in his present and future qualities.
