Bayern Munich goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer, has agreed to a one-year contract extension with the German Bundesliga giants.
The 38-year-old’s contract had been due to expire at the end of this season but the German number one is now set to mark 15 years at Bavaria next year with his new deal.
“I’m still hungry and am looking forward to another year at this special club. We’ve still got many goals to achieve together,” Neuer revealed in a statement.
“Manuel Neuer is the best goalkeeper of his generation and a Bayern icon. When you talk about goalkeeping in our time, you talk about Manuel Neuer — and that’s around the world,” Bayern’s board member Max Eberl said.
Eberl added, “He’s an absolute role model, both on and off the pitch. We’re delighted that this unique and successful relationship will continue.”
Neuer has been with Bayern Munich since arriving from Schalke 04 in 2011 and has helped the Bavarians win the UEFA Champions League twice and the German Bundesliga title 11 times.
