"Neuer would not be able to surpass that number this season - but if he stays healthy, he would get close and another year should do it comfortably. That adds some context to the Neuer contract extension watch, but the man himself is not really thinking about it."
""I don't base my career around breaking records and instead live in the here and now with the aim of being as successful as possible with the team," Neuer explained in a Bundesliga.com interview, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. "For me, it's not about playing more games than somebody else. Oliver Kahn is an absolute legend who went his own way and had an outstanding career. I will just concentrate on myself, on my health, and my game for as long as I still enjoy it.""
Manuel Neuer is closing in on Oliver Kahn's Bundesliga appearance record of 557 games. Neuer will not surpass the mark this season but could approach it if he stays healthy and could exceed it comfortably with another year. The potential milestone adds context to contract extension speculation, though Neuer is not focused on records. Neuer emphasizes living in the present and aiming for team success rather than individual milestones. He praises Oliver Kahn as an absolute legend and says he will concentrate on his health, his game, and continuing as long as he enjoys it.
