Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is planning to retire from the national team again after the World Cup, according to reporting that treats the move as a renewed end to his international career. Multiple outlets frame the decision as coming after the tournament rather than immediately, indicating he would continue to represent Germany through the World Cup. One report notes that Neuer, who was part of Germany’s 2014 World Cup-winning squad, is not only returning to the spotlight but was also selected as part of Julian Nagelsmann’s squad following a strong run of club form with Bayern Munich.

The available information does not include details on the timing of his final appearance, whether he will participate in all matches, or whether there will be a formal retirement announcement at the end of the World Cup. It also does not specify any additional conditions, such as potential involvement with Germany in another role. Overall, the reporting agrees that the goalkeeper intends to step away from Germany after the World Cup, marking a further chapter in his international career.
