""Well, personally, if it were up to me, we would try to keep him Neuer for another year. We would ask him to be a mentor for Urbig. That includes being willing to sit out some games. We think very highly of Urbig. We truly believe he can be the successor. He can only achieve that if he plays. Both get along very, very well. So we hope that Manuel will stay for another year and prepare for the future in this position""
"Bayern chiefs have publicly backed Urbig to be the long-term replacement of Neuer. He needs to play more to gain experience and get used to pressure situations as Bayern's number one goalkeeper."
Manuel Neuer showcased his skills during the Champions League quarter-finals against Real Madrid, helping Bayern Munich secure a 6-4 aggregate victory. Despite a mistake in the second leg, Neuer's overall performance has led to speculation about his return from retirement for the World Cup. His contract situation remains uncertain as he will be a free agent in the summer, with Bayern open to offering an extension if he can contribute. Uli Hoeness suggested Neuer could mentor young goalkeeper Urbig, who is seen as his successor.
