'The signs are pointing to his departure': Manuel Neuer 'unlikely to be at Bayern Munich next season' because the 34-year-old goalkeeper wants a five year contract extension

Manuel Neuer is 'unlikely' to be at Bayern Munich next season because the 34-year-old goalkeeper wants a five year contract extension.

The German wants assurances over his long-term future despite being in the latter stages of his career.

Former Bayern midfielder and World Cup winner Lothar Matthaus believes he will leave the club if he is not prepared to reassess his wishes.
