Neuer Extends Bayern Munich Contract Until 2025

Neuer recently returned from a long-term leg injury and has made six appearances this season.

The 37-year-old broke his leg in a skiing accident following Germany's elimination at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and was sidelined for 10 months.

Neuer joined Bayern Munich from Schalke 04 in 2011 and has won 11 Bundesliga titles, two UEFA Champions League trophies and five DFB-Pokals among numerous other honours.

His previous contract would have expired at the end of this season.

Neuer's deputy, Sven Ulreich, has also penned fresh terms until 2025.

"I’m happy to be staying at FC Bayern for another year," Neuer told the Bayern website. 

"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. Knowing that I still have Sven by my side makes it even nicer.”

"We’ve very glad to have Manuel and Sven with us beyond the current season," added Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund.

"Together with Daniel Peretz they form a goalkeeping team that’s second to none. Their quality, as athletes and as people, and their teamwork are excellent.

"Manuel is our captain and has been the best goalkeeper in the world for many years. He’s taken goalkeeping to a new level and follows in the tradition of great FC Bayern keepers like Sepp Maier and Oliver Kahn. Sven has not least shown his class in recent months, when Manuel was out. He’s also an important integrative factor in the dressing room with his calm and open manner".
