Manuel Neuer Stays at Bayern Munich

Introduction

Manuel Neuer will play for FC Bayern Munich for more years. Some people think he can play for Germany again.

Main Body

Neuer has a new contract with FC Bayern Munich until 2027. He will get less money now. This helps a young player, Jonas Urbig, to play more games. Neuer said he stopped playing for Germany in 2024. But his name is on a list for the 2026 World Cup. Some people want him because he is very good and has a lot of experience. Other people do not want him. They say he is old and gets hurt. They think Oliver Baumann is better at stopping penalties.

Conclusion

Neuer is happy at his club until 2027. We do not know if he will play in the 2026 World Cup.
