Manuel Neuer is expected to extend his contract until 2025 at FC Bayern München. Bayern will keep Neuer until he begins to grow grey hairs! As much as I want Neuer to stay at Bayern, I think it's also important for the club to invest in its young prospects and develop them. After all, he's not getting any younger! Rather than sign new players, Bayern Munich is working on renewing contracts with key players in the first team.
Manuel Neuer is such a great goalkeeper, and I can understand if Bayern want to keep him till the end of his career, but I second your idea that the club should also start looking for younger options that would replace him when he finally retires, but I trust the Bayern board, they are pretty good in making wonderful decisions, so I'm sure sooner or later, they would buy a younger replacement for Manuel Neuer.
Actually, I still think that if it was not for all those injuries, Manuel Neuer would have become an actual legend of this game.
But saying these things will not bring the time back.
I think it's good thinking of Bayern Munich to extend Neuer's contract with them but at the same time, they should also be investing in young talents.
You know, make a good future plan. So when Neuer decides to hang up his boots, they don't have to search for replacements.
The Bayern president himself has given a positive signal by saying Neuer will play for several years for Bayern, because Neuer is still considered
capable of contributing to Bayern. Looks like Neuer will end his career at Bayern, there are even rumors that Bayern will extend Manuel Neuer
until he is 39 years old. If it is true that Bayern did this, it means that Bayern are serious about making Neuer end his career with Bayern.
Although Bayern have great faith in Neuer's abilities and are planning to extend his contract, it is better to prepare a replacement for Neuer from
now on, especially since Neuer is 35 years old. So there is a possibility that his performance will decrease and he is prone to injury. If Bayern don't
want to spend money to buy a new goalkeeper, Bayern could provide an opportunity to play for Cristian Fruchtl who is still 21 years old, so Fruchtl
could be prepared as a replacement for Neuer.
