"Manuel is a defining figure in the history of FC Bayern,” chief executive Oliver Kahn said in a statement. "(He) has been setting the standard around the world for years. It’s a huge achievement to be so consistently world class.” Germany captain Neuer, who has made more than 470 appearances for Bayern in all competitions, is the second long-serving player to extend his stay in Bavaria after forward Thomas Mueller also renewed his deal until 2024.

"We’ll have a very good team again with which we can compete for every title,” Neuer said. "As a goalkeeper, captain and leader, I want to be the support and a key factor in our big goals.

"We want to extend our title record and compete again for the German Cup and Champions League.” — Reuters
