Sport1 report: Neuer and Bayern near extension through 2025
German broadcaster Sport1 reports that FC Bayern München and squad captain Manuel Neuer should agree on a two-year contract-extension before the calendar year is out.

The agreement should make Neuer the second-highest salaried Bayern professional behind Thomas Müller. Such a move would naturally have significant ramifications for club loan-out Alexander Nübel. In an interview with German footballing magazine Kicker earlier in the week, the 25-year-old who looked to emulate Neuer's rise to prominence with his own switch from FC Schalke 04 in 2020 appeared content spending another year in Ligue 1.
Nübel nevertheless also revealed that he had no intention of returning to Germany's record champions unless playing time could be secured. Neuer's reported contract extension would keep him in a Bayern tricot through the end of the 2024/25 season.
