"We've always said he should wait until he turns 40 at the end of March, and then we'll sit down and talk things through calmly. Then he has to tell us how he feels, and we have to decide for ourselves how to proceed. He's had an outstanding season so far; he's a top goalkeeper."
"This injury doesn't change anything for us. In the end, we will make a decision together with Manu. We would like to extend Konny's contract. Talks have taken place, but things are currently on hold. But that's not a problem, there's no resentment or ill will."
Bayern Munich director Max Eberl stated the club will not rush into decisions regarding goalkeeper Manuel Neuer's contract, which expires at season's end. Neuer recently returned from injury but sustained a minor muscle tear, sidelining him from the Champions League match against Atalanta. Eberl confirmed Bayern will wait until Neuer turns 40 on March 27 before holding discussions about his future. The club views Neuer as a top goalkeeper despite the recent injury setback. Separately, contract extension talks with midfielder Konrad Laimer have paused, though Eberl emphasized there is no ill will, only differing contract proposals that need alignment.
