"Manu turns 40 in March; we'll discuss his future after that. We don't need to talk about prospects with him; it's about a feeling. And right now, he feels completely at ease, and we have a great feeling about him," Eberl told Sport Bild's Henning Feindt, Christian Falk, and Tobi Altschäffl (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). "The question is also: How will he feel if he plays in the 2026 World Cup and becomes a world champion?"
"When asked if Neuer should play in the World Cup, Eberl did not have to think long about it. "Yes. He's the best goalkeeper in Germany. We're incredibly happy that he's healthy. The holidays during international breaks help him. But he's absolutely raring to go," Eberl stated. Neuer clearly has something left in the tank and if he can prove as much over the full course of this season, it would not be shocking for him to get another contract."
Max Eberl supports Manuel Neuer remaining Bayern Munich's goalkeeper next season and plans to discuss Neuer's future after Neuer turns 40 in March.

Eberl raised the possibility that Neuer's feelings could change if Neuer plays in the 2026 World Cup and becomes a world champion. Eberl described Neuer as the best goalkeeper in Germany and expressed relief that Neuer is healthy. International-break holidays benefit Neuer's fitness.
