"Manuel Neuer has enjoyed a strong start to the season in Bayern Munich's nine straight wins across all competitions to start off the 2025/26 campaign. In the process of getting off to a flying start, the veteran keeper has been able to record three clean sheets and there was hardly anything the Bayern captain could've have done for a majority of the eight goals that have been conceded while he's been in goal."
"Per information from Sport Bild's Christian Falk and Tobi Altschäffl (via @iMiaSanMia), Bayern Munich is not entirely closed off to the idea of offering Neuer another contract extension for another season, so long as the keeper remains fully fit, healthy, and keeps performing the way he's been performing so far this season. Consistent with the club's normal policy, they would only offer him a one-year extension due to being over the age of 30, though there have been multiple exceptions to that rule."
"In addition to the possibility of a Bayern extension being on the table, Neuer is also not entirely closed off to making a return to the German national team for next summer's FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canda, and Mexico if he is needed by Julian Nagelsmann and company. He had previously thrown cold water on the rumors that he was potentially coming out of retirement for Die Mannshcaft, but it is very much a topic that he recently discussed with Rudi Völler."
Manuel Neuer has enjoyed a strong start to the 2025/26 season as Bayern Munich recorded nine straight wins across all competitions. Neuer has recorded three clean sheets and conceded eight goals while in goal, with most goals not attributable to him. The 39-year-old has overcome recent injury struggles and currently appears fit and performing near his peak. Bayern Munich would consider a one-year contract extension if Neuer remains fully fit and continues performing at a high level, consistent with the club's policy for players over 30. Neuer is also open to returning to the German national team for the next World Cup if needed.
