Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl has opened up about Manuel Neuer’s future at the Allianz Arena. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, sentimentality will not dictate the decision to extend the 39-year-old’s contract, so Neuer must maintain world-class performance levels to earn a new deal.
Eberl added that the German goalie must prove that he is still capable of performing at a top level.
His words, “He must be capable of performing at a top level – just as he currently is. That would also have to be the case in the coming season. It’s about how Manuel feels, whether he wants to and whether he sees himself as capable of delivering his performances for another year. At almost 40, he’s still a top goalkeeper in Europe.
Of course, it has to continue. You have to talk about what his motivation and his tension are. We as a club expect that and want to find that out together with him.”
WOW.
