Bayern Set Conditions for Neuer's Contract Extension

Bayern Munich is setting conditions for Manuel Neuer's potential contract extension, insisting he continue performing at a top level as he turns 40.

Bayern's sporting director Max Eberl said the club will only consider extending Neuer's contract if the 40‑year‑old can still perform at the highest level. The decision is not solely Neuer's; the club must be convinced of his motivation and focus. Despite a recent muscle injury, Neuer remains one of Europe's top goalkeepers, and Bayern plans to discuss terms with him directly.
