Manuel Neuer's agent says the Bayern Munich goalkeeper could leave
An unlikely player who could switch clubs this summer is the Bayern Munich stalwart Manuel Neuer. The player's agent Thomas Kroth told German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung that he will look for better options if the club's squad is not strong enough to launch a challenge in the Champions League.
Kroth said,
"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.
"Much has been said and interpreted against him. The bottom line was: 'He's 33 years old now and he's starting to break down'.
"Many have interpreted his achievements as having lost the extraordinary and invincible ability."
