Chelsea are buoyed by news that Manuel Neuer is unhappy with Bayern Munich.

The legendary German goalkeeper wants a significant contract of five years.

But at 34, Bayern are not sure he is worth such a long commitment, especially with Alexander Nubel coming from Schalke in the summer.

Neuer spoke to Bild about his contract talks with Bayern, which have not progressed well.

"All conversations that I've had here since [2011] have always been conducted with great confidence. Nothing has ever leaked out," he said.

"But now there are details from the current discussions in the media that are often not even correct. That annoys me. That's not how I know Bayern.

"I want to play as long as I'm fit. But the most important thing for me is trust. It's clear to me that it's utopian to want a five-year contract. I'm 34 and can't predict how I'm going to be at 39. That's why what has been publicly suggested makes no sense at all.

"It has always been important to me to be able to work trustingly with the employees in management positions - as loyal as I am to the club as a player and captain."
