Agent admits Bayern Munich goalkeeper Neuer could leave

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is considering his future this summer.

German great Neuer has been at Bayern for eight years after he signed from Schalke in 2011, making 336 appearances, keeping 176 cleans sheets.

In his eight seasons the 33-year-old has won the Budesliga title seven times, the DFB-Pokal five times and Champions League.

In an interview with Suddeutsche Zeitung, agent Thomas Kroth said: ""He wants to win Euro 2020 and he wants to win the Champions League again,"

"Manuel is success-oriented. My impression is that the gap to the top four English top teams is already serious and the Munich squad is currently not yet as competitive or set up to tackle Manuel's goals seriously.

"When he realises that Bayern are responding, then he will probably blossom again.

"He does not want to retire in 2021. Now he is in the phase in which he has to decide: how will things progress in the future?

"Signing a contract extension and ending his career at Bayern is of course the obvious option, but it's not the only one."
