"The 39-year-old goalkeeper has been in good form for Bayern this season. Neuer had a difficult Hinrunde last season, but he bounced back in the last 12 months. The former World Cup winner remains Kompany's first-choice goalkeeper as he is not showing any significant decline in the goalkeeping aspects of his game. Bayern chiefs are also pleased with Neuer's performances and would be open to keeping him for one more season."
"Even though Neuer has been performing well this season, Bayern have started preparing for life after him. The club chiefs believe Jonas Urbig is going to be the long-term successor of Neuer. The young German goalkeeper has enjoyed a promising start to life at Bayern. After arriving in Munich last January, Urbig has delivered good performances whenever he has been called upon. Die Roten have also started him in a couple of Bundesliga games this season. Urbig is expected to get more game time during the second half of the season."
Bayern Munich have reached agreements with Serge Gnabry and Konrad Laimer on new deals, with official announcements pending. More work remains on Dayot Upamecano's contract. Additional contract talks are planned during the second half of the season. Manuel Neuer has six months left on his deal but is in strong form and remains Bayern's first-choice goalkeeper, recovering from a difficult Hinrunde last season. Bayern would be open to keeping Neuer for one more season, while Neuer will decide on his future at the end of March or beginning of April. Bayern are preparing for life after Neuer by nurturing Jonas Urbig as his long-term successor.
