Neuer extends Bayern stay

Published on: 

Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has signed a new deal with Bayern Munich that ties him to the club until 2023, the club said on Wednesday.

The announcement ends weeks of speculation over the Bayern captain’s future, with widespread reports that talks between player and club had hit the rocks.

“During the weeks of the shutdown for the coronavirus pandemic, I didn’t want to make a decision because nobody knew if, when and how Bundesliga football would continue,” Neuer said in a statement.

“I look to the future with great optimism. I feel very comfortable and at home in Bavaria.”

A World Cup winner in 2014 with Germany, Neuer joined Bayern  in 2011 and has won almost everything with them, with seven Bundesliga titles, five German Cups & Champions League to his name.
