Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer says it is “very likely” he will retire at the end of the current Bundesliga season. Multiple outlets report that the 40-year-old made the comment while discussing his plans for the upcoming campaign, suggesting he is near the end of his playing career. One report notes that Neuer has signed a contract extension with Bayern that runs through 2026-27, but also adds that this could still be his final season. Yahoo Sports reports Neuer is not treating matches as a farewell tour, stating that while he is not approaching games as last appearances, it nevertheless looks very likely he will retire after the season concludes. Other coverage similarly frames Neuer’s remarks as a strong indication of retirement timing, rather than a definite announcement. The reports agree on the key points: Neuer’s status as Bayern’s veteran goalkeeper, his “very likely” statement about retiring at season’s end, and the context of his ongoing contract with the club.
