""We've spoken often about Manu's situation and that it's down to Manu. He will decide. Right now he's fit and performing really well. We've said we'd like him to stay on for another year, also as a leader.""
""Bayern has full confidence Urbig can eventually take over as the club's number one keeper, especially if Neuer sticks around for another year and can continue to play a mentorship type of role.""
Manuel Neuer has not yet made a decision regarding his contract extension with Bayern Munich. He is considering whether to stay for another year or leave. Discussions with the club were expected by March, but Neuer is taking his time to avoid distractions during the team's pursuit of a treble. Former president Uli Hoeneß and sporting director Christoph Freund support his continuation, believing it would benefit understudy Jonas Urbig. Bayern has confidence in Urbig's potential as Neuer's successor, with other goalkeeping options available if Neuer departs.
