Manuel Neuer turns 40 next year but he continues to deliver at the highest level, and he's not showing signs of slowing down. In fact, he might get another year with Bayern Munich as a reward for his service in the current season. According to a report by Bild (as captured by Twitter account @iMiaSanMia), it was clear to everyone at the club that Neuer's current deal, set to expire at the end of the season, was to be his last one.
Last season, the Englishman was slightly questionable at times, and both Sergio Conceicao and Paulo Fonseca fell out with Tomori at different stages. Their intentions at the start to mould him did not succeed, and he was regularly forced to watch on. An exit looked likely at a few points, but the former Chelsea man never gave up on the Rossoneri, even if it seemed that they had given up on him.
The issue is that Yildiz, despite being one of Juve's top performers in recent months, earns a salary less than €2 million - with 18 other players in the squad pocketing more. It is something that the Italian giants wish to address by offering a new contract, but in case talks do not go through as planned, the likes of Barcelona, Arsenal, and Chelsea are ready to strike.
"Many people wanted me to leave from my first steps at Camp Nou, I can't name them all. Maybe I wasn't doing what they expected of me, but I always had a clear conscience about what I gave. I did everything I could," Raphinha shared.
It's tough to really state just how big a deal this is for Arsenal. It's absolutely huge news and a massive, massive boost to the club. Talks have been going on for months now between the club and Saliba's representatives, with sporting director Andrea Berta having really taken a firm grasp on the negotiations following his appointment in March. But they have really ramped up since the closure of the transfer window and now Berta and Arsenal have got the result they wanted.
"I'm very happy. Renewing my contract with this club, which is like a second family to me, is wonderful. This has to be a new beginning; now I have to work hard because we need to get back to winning ways as soon as possible."
