"As was always planned to be the case, now that Neuer has officially extended his stay at Bayern along with Ulreich, both keepers will continue to serve as mentors to Urbig while the young keeper does start to get some more minutes next season. It was always the club's intention to get Urbig ready to eventually be the number one keeper for when Neuer finally moves on."
"For keeper Alexander Nübel, who is on loan at VfB Stuttgart, this effectively spells the end of his efforts of trying to have a future with Bayern, at least for now. He had recently said he could envision playing alongside Ubrig at Bayern, but that was under the pretense that Neuer finally called it quits and decided to leave the club this summer on a free transfer somewhere."
Manuel Neuer extended his contract with Bayern Munich for another year, keeping him at the club through June 2027. Sven Ulreich also signed a one-year extension. The decisions end a period of uncertainty around Neuer’s final call, despite internal confidence that he would remain. Reports in Germany linked Neuer to Julian Nagelsmann’s initial 55-man World Cup roster, while Neuer has repeatedly stated he will stay retired from international football. Bayern will keep Neuer for at least another year regardless of national team developments. Jonas Urbig received congratulations and is expected to gain more minutes next season while continuing as a mentee. Alexander Nübel’s loan at VfB Stuttgart is likely to limit his prospects of returning to Bayern soon.
