"One of the understated stories of this young season has been the excellence of Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. The veteran has been nothing short of brilliant so far this season and - somehow - looks like he has reverted back to a younger version of himself. With his contract up after this season and with his performances so top-notch, it is fair to ask if the goalkeeper is not at least thinking of playing a little longer."
"Former Bayern Munich defender Eric Dier recently made an appearance on "Fozcast - The Ben Foster Podcast" and levied high praise on Neuer. "The greatest of all time. I don't think people in England understand how good he is because maybe they haven't watched the Bundesliga. I've not seen anything like it," Dier said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). While Neuer has steadfastly said that he will not return to Germany, many are already clamoring to see him on the squad again."
Manuel Neuer has delivered elite goalkeeping this season and appears rejuvenated. His contract expires after the current campaign, raising the prospect of an extension and continued play. Bayern had planned for a post-Neuer era with Jonas Urbig as successor, a process that began five years ago, but Neuer's form suggests he may still offer high-level contributions. Eric Dier praised Neuer as the greatest of all time and highlighted his unique quality. Uli Hoeneß stated that Neuer should play at the World Cup if healthy. Bayern can remain flexible on succession while Urbig continues to train alongside Neuer and Sven Ulreich.
