Bayern Munich finds themselves in a fix regarding the long-term future of Manuel Neuer at the club.

The last few weeks for Bayern Munich have been all about preparing players for the possible resumption of the Bundesliga in May. Die Roten has also been preparing for the future of the first team. They have already handed a two-year deal to Hansi Flick.

In terms of squad planning, Bayern immediately completed the contract renewal process of Thomas Muller. Alphonso Davies followed the German forward last week to commit his long-term future to the club. Thiago Alcantara, David Alaba, and Manuel Neuer are other players that are in talks with the club over a new deal.

Neuer’s contract is set to expire in 2021. There has been a lot of speculation surrounding the future of the German goalkeeper since the club confirmed the signing of Alexander Nubel in January. Neuer has been loosely linked with a move to Juventus and Chelsea since January.

Bayern has a tough decision to make regarding Neuer’s future. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is confident about agreeing to a new contract with the player, but things look uncertain at the moment. Let us explore the possible approaches Die Roten can explore to tackle this standoff between them and Neuer.
