"Should Manuel Neuer decide to extend his contract at FC Bayern until 2027, no one at the club will stand in his way. The club's bosses would even 'hand him the pen' to sign the contract with considerably more conviction than last time. Within Bayern, they believe that since Neuer no longer plays for the national team, his body has been getting enough rest and no longer struggles with injuries."
"At this point, Neuer looks fully worthy of a new deal, so it will be up to whether or not Neuer wants to continue to play. If he does, he has a home. At this point, the only other question in this situation is if Jonas Urbig wants to wait around another season to take the reins. Bayern Munich is starting to really hit the rough-and-tumble portion of its first half schedule and Der Klassiker is at the forefront of it all."
Manuel Neuer holds sole authority over whether to extend his Bayern Munich contract until 2027, with the club prepared to facilitate a renewal. Bayern believes Neuer's absence from national team duties has improved his rest and reduced injury issues, increasing the likelihood of an extension. A final decision is expected around Christmas to early January. An extension would postpone Jonas Urbig's planned succession to summer 2027. Neuer presently appears deserving of a new deal; the remaining questions are Neuer's desire to continue playing and whether Urbig is willing to wait. Bayern faces a demanding schedule including Der Klassiker and multiple domestic and European fixtures.
