Vincent Kompany gives update on Manuel Neuer's contract situation, says Bayern Munich is trying to approach it "like a family"

One has to wonder how big Kompany's role in the matter is, considering Christoph Freund and Max Eberl are those in charge of contracts at the club.

Kompany reveals a different approach to negotiations: 'We're trying to be a little bit like a family,' Kompany says, via @iMiaSanMia. "We always discuss it with the player first."

The ones in charge need to find the perfect balance between such appreciation for Neuer's past achievements and the desire to move forward.

There have been calls for Bayern to let the legendary goalkeeper go due to his declining shot stopping, but the noise from the media indicates that a renewal is on its way.
