Speaking to Bild am Sonntag, the 35-year-old says he can imagine playing beyond the age of 40.
"It depends on certain factors: fitness, that I'm physically well, that I don't drag myself into training. I don't want to have to take painkillers to train. I have to be able to perform at my best. I have to be needed by the team. And I have to have fun and be really up for it," said Neuer.
"Living consciously, eating healthily and getting a good night's sleep are important to me. But there is no age limit for me. I'm not saying that I'll be retiring at 40."
