Bayern Munich and Manuel Neuer are likely to extend their partnership further, as his current contract is set to expire at the end of the season. Discussions are underway to renew the deal for another year, which would allow the goalkeeper, born in 1986, to wear the Bavarian jersey until the age of 40.\n\nThe German goalkeeper, currently sidelined until the end of 2024 due to a rib fracture, is expected to return after the winter break. “Discussions with the captain are progressing as you might imagine,” explained sporting director Max Eberl. “Now, it’s just a matter of clarifying and finalizing the last details.”\n\nNeuer joined Bayern in 2011 from Schalke 04 and has since made 540 appearances for the club. His contributions have enriched Bayern Munich’s trophy cabinet with 11 Bundesliga titles, 7 German Super Cups, 5 DFB-Pokals, 2 Champions League titles, 2 UEFA Super Cups, and 2 FIFA Club World Cups.
