"Manuel Neuer turns 40 next year but he continues to deliver at the highest level, and he's not showing signs of slowing down. In fact, he might get another year with Bayern Munich as a reward for his service in the current season. According to a report by Bild (as captured by Twitter account @iMiaSanMia), it was clear to everyone at the club that Neuer's current deal, set to expire at the end of the season, was to be his last one."
"However, there is now talk of renewing his deal for another year and that a lot of personnel are in favor of it. Now you might be wondering, "What next with Jonas Urbig?" - because there is the possibility of him going down the Alexander Nübel route where Neuer's presence forces the club to loan the understudy out or maybe even sell him."
Manuel Neuer will turn 40 next year and continues to perform at the highest level without showing signs of decline. Bayern Munich is considering offering Neuer another one-year contract as recognition for his ongoing service this season. Club personnel who support a renewal are reportedly numerous. The potential extension raises questions about Jonas Urbig's future, including the possibility of a loan or sale similar to Alexander Nübel's situation. Neuer was involved in Urbig's signing from FC Köln and had agreed to provide playing time to the 22-year-old deputy this season as a development pathway.
