"Manuel Neuer is enjoying one of his best seasons in recent memory. The 39-year-old shot-stopper has already racked up four clean sheets in his first six Bundesliga games. It's no surprise that with the FIFA World Cup around the corner rumours linking Neuer with a possible return to the German national team have started circulating."
"Manu can lead any team. He's been the best goalkeeper in the world for 20 years. Ultimately, it was his decision to retire, and we all have to respect his decision,"
"Overall, we're very well equipped in the goalkeeping position; Oliver Baumann has been excellent in recent games."
Manuel Neuer is enjoying one of his best seasons, recording four clean sheets in his first six Bundesliga games. Rumours have linked him with a potential return to the German national team ahead of the FIFA World Cup. Joshua Kimmich praised Neuer's leadership and long-term excellence, stating that retirement was Neuer's decision and should be respected, while also commending Oliver Baumann's recent performances. A return for one last World Cup appears unlikely given the reportedly strained relationship between Neuer and Julian Nagelsmann and Germany's depth in the goalkeeper position, meaning only an exceptional circumstance would prompt a comeback.
