Rummenigge backs Neuer, urges Bayern captain to stay another year

After Bayern Munich’s semi‑final defeat to PSG, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge defended goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and urged the club to keep him on for another year.

Former CEO and current Supervisory Board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said Bayern Munich would welcome Neuer’s stay for a further year, citing his long‑term contribution and high performance level. He added that Neuer could aid the development of young goalkeeper Jonas Urbig, emphasising a united goalkeeping group led by coach Michael Rechner and Sven Ulreich. xsportfeed.quest
