Manuel Neuer set to retire at the end of the season
Injured and 40 years old, Manuel Neuer wants to finish the season with Bayern before retiring, and the club is already looking for a replacement.
Manuel Neuer, 40, could end his career at the close of this season. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, which picks up a Bild report, the Bayern Munich goalkeeper is sidelined by an injury and aims to recover and finish the campaign with the club before hanging up his gloves. For now, retirement is considered practically certain.
Bayern have already started looking for his successor. Neuer arrived in Munich in the summer of 2011 and, over more than fifteen years of success, changed the way the goalkeeper role is played, becoming a symbol of the club and of international football.
The Bavarian club wants to be ready for the handover between the posts and is looking for a profile capable of taking on one of the heaviest legacies in world football.
