With the season finale fast approaching, Manuel Neuer is once again dominating the headlines. Yet the situation has remained virtually unchanged for weeks.
Indications have persisted for weeks that the 40-year-old FC Bayern captain will extend his career and sign a one-year contract extension. Sky reported at the end of April that Neuer had informed the club’s hierarchy of his desire to remain between the Munich posts beyond the summer, and the Münchner Abendzeitung even claimed an agreement was in place. On Wednesday, Sky and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano both reported that the deal had been finalised.
