Manuel Neuer |
Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel
Neuer has extended his contract with the Bundelisga club until June 2023.
Neuer has won seven German titles, five DFB Cups and the
Champions League since joining the club from Schalke in 2011.
The Bayern captain, 34, says he "feels at home in
Bavaria" and is looking to the "future with great optimism".
"In the weeks of the lockdown, I didn't want to make
a decision because nobody knew whether Bundesliga football would continue at
all," he said.
"Now that this has been resolved, I look to the
future with great optimism. I feel very comfortable in Bavaria.
"Bayern is, and remains, one of the top European
football addresses."
Neuer kept a clean sheet as Bayern beat
Union Berlin in their first game since the league's return during
the coronavirus pandemic.
He has also won 92 caps for Germany, as well as playing a
starring role in the World Cup victory of 2014.
The Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said the club were
"very happy and satisfied" with the goalkeeper's decision to stay.
"Manuel is the best goalkeeper in the world and our
captain," he said.
Neuer will be joined by Alexander Nubel, 23, next season,
with the Schalke
goalkeeper joining the club on a free transfer this summer.
The
ex-Germany Under-21 international has agreed a five-year contract with the
defending Bundesliga champions.
