“FC Bayern is very happy and satisfied that Manuel has extended his contract until June 30, 2023. Manuel is the best goalkeeper in the world and our captain.” Bayern chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said.

The four-time UEFA Goalkeeper of the Year Manuel Neuer gets a pay rise for his contract extension (previous estimated annual salary 15 million euros). However, Neuer’s new salary does not exceed €20m.

Oliver Kahn, a member of the executive board at Bayern said. “Another big decision for a successful future! Manuel Nuer is the captain and one of the most important pillars of our team. He embodies great years of German football and we’re happy to continue the way of FC Bayern together. This extension is a strong signal.”
