Neuer weighs extension amid workload reality at 39
Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich)
November 2025
Manuel Neuer remains Bayern’s No.1 at 39, but says any new deal must consider body management and recovery load. Club talk points to a possible extension beyond 40, while Jonas Urbig’s succession push is on hold with Neuer still delivering first-choice performances. Bayern will balance form, medical data, and succession planning. Kompany has parked future-talk publicly to protect focus. December conversations will define term length, incentives, and contingency planning, ensuring continuity without blocking development minutes if performance or health dips.
