"I would like to take my time with that,"
"It's really about taking the moment to say, okay, how is my body doing? What's my health like? Does it make sense to continue? And I need to postpone that decision a bit longer."
Manuel Neuer has missed large portions of his career at Bayern Munich due to two separate serious injury spells and has faced recurring niggles, including a recent calf tear from celebrating a goal. Those setbacks have strengthened his determination to remain at Bayern and attempt to recover lost playing years. Neuer is approaching 40 and recognizes increasing physical frailty. He intends to delay any decision on a contract extension until he can assess his body and overall health. With Thomas Müller gone, Neuer is now the club's longest-serving player and would leave a major sporting and cultural void if he departs.
