According to a report from Sport1 journalist Stefan Kumberger (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Bayern Munich has made contact with goalkeeper Manuel Neuer on a one-year contract extension.
With the captain performing at a level that puts him among the best in the world, Neuer could be in line for a longer stay with the club:
Bayern bosses have made initial contact with Manuel Neuer over a one-year contract extension. If the captain decides to continue, the winter break is considered a conceivable time
to seal the deal.
An extension for Neuer will have an effect on the futures of Jonas Urbig, Alexander Nübel, and Daniel Peretz, so the squad planning could get a little more complex as the club also will need to find what roles — if any — those players might hold in Bavaria next season.
Bayern Munich looked pretty tired by the end of its 2-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund and now must quickly rebound for a Champions League showdown with Belgian power Club Brugge.
On paper, Bayern Munich figures to be a heavy favorite, but Club Brugge has been tough in the Champions League so far. Is Bayern Munich ripe for an upset?
