Neuer Nears Bayern Decision as One-Year Extension Beckons

Bayern favor a one-year deal tied to his fitness to start a planned handover to Jonas Urbig.

Overview

  • Manuel Neuer said he will decide soon whether to sign on for another year at Bayern or retire after this season.
  • Club leaders are prepared to offer a one-year deal, with Sport Bild reporting he is likely to stay if fit.
  • Transfer talk linking him to England has no traction, as Fabrizio Romano says there have been no talks with Premier League clubs.
  • If he renews, Bayern plan to give 22-year-old Jonas Urbig about 20 games next season to ease a future handover.
  • His recent nine saves in a 2-1 win at Real Madrid and a tally of 137 Champions League starts underline that he remains elite.
