Veteran German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has signed a new contract with Bayern Munich that will keep him at the club until the end of 2025.
Neuer, who won the World Cup with Germany in 2014 has also won eleven Bundesliga titles and two UEFA Champions League titles with Bayern.
Commenting on his decision to extend his stay Neuer said: “I’m happy to be staying at FC Bayern for another year. After my long injury, I’m back in full swing.”
“It’s immense fun for me to be on the pitch with this team. I’m sure that, together with the fans, we can achieve our big goals in the coming years – and obviously the 2025 Champions League final in Munich is one of them.”
Neuer has been sidelined for a considerable stretch after he broke his leg while skiing. He returned to the team in October after ten months on the sidelines.
“Knowing that I still have Sven by my side makes it even nicer,” Neuer said, referring to fellow German keeper Sven Ulreich, who filled the number one spot while he was out injured.
