Neuer commits future to Bayern Munich

 

Manuel Neuer has signed a new contract with Bayern Munich until June 2023, the club has announced. 

 

The Germany international had been linked with a move way from the Bundesliga champions, particularly on the back of the impending arrival of Alexander Nubel from Schalke. 

 

However, the 34-year-old is now set to see out the twilight years of his career with Bayern having signed a three-year deal with the Bundesliga champions. 

 

Neuer is one of a handful of players to have played every minute in the Bundesliga this season for a Bayern side that has conceded fewer goals (26) than any other side in Germany's top tier. 

 

 

What's more, Neuer has kept at least three more clean sheets (11) than any other goalkeeper in the Bundesliga this campaign. 

 

Bayern remain on course to secure their eighth successive Bundesliga title on the back of their 2-0 win at Union Berlin on Sunday as they re-established their lead at the top of the table to four points.
