Bayern Munich said Monday they had extended the contract of their long-standing goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to the end of the 2025-26 season.
The announcement puts an end to speculation about Neuer’s future at the club, where his contract was set to expire at the end of the current campaign.
Neuer, who has made over 500 appearances for the Bavarian giants, was “the best goalkeeper of his generation and a Bayern icon”, sporting chief Max Eberl said in a statement.

The club were “delighted” that Neuer would stay on for what will be his 15th season with Bayern, after joining from domestic rivals Schalke in 2011.
