Neuer extends with Bayern until 41 and dreams of another World Cup | OneFootball

The German extended his contract with the Bavarian club at age 40 and appears on Julian Nagelsmann’s preliminary list for the 2026 World Cup. It could be his fourth World Cup appearance.

The legendary German goalkeeper renewed his deal with the Bavarian club this Friday and, as a result, will play at least until the age of 41. The contract extension comes after another positive season for Bayern’s captain, who once again won the Bundesliga and reached the Champions League semifinals.

In addition, the news comes amid anticipation over Germany’s final squad for the 2026 World Cup. A few days ago, Julian Nagelsmann included Neuer in the preliminary list of 55 players, and the goalkeeper hopes to have one last opportunity with the national team.

Neuer had announced his retirement from the national team after Euro 2024, following the elimination against Spain in the quarterfinals. “I’m proud to have spent so many years with my teammates and to have been captain,” the goalkeeper said when bidding farewell to the German national team.

With Germany, he played 124 official matches and was one of the standout figures of the team that won the World Cup in Brazil in 2014.
