Operation Neuer could end in failure

Manuel Neuer He has been one of the best goalkeepers in the world for the past decade. The goalkeeper of Bayern Munich it will be exactly ten years next year under the sticks of the most successful club in the Bundesliga (in 2011 they paid 30 million euros to Schalke 04 for him), but also ends his contract that same season. That is why club and footballer are talking to expand that agreement.

But according to Bild, Negotiations are not on the right track and could be blown up, as they are unable to approach positions. It's not about money, since he himself spoke yesterday about the need to make cuts in the salaries of the staff so that the club's employees most affected by the crisis in the coronavirus can get ahead: “We are privileged and we must accept cuts.”

In addition, the German team, in which he plays, has donated another 2.5 million euros to the cause. Being a starter on Joachim Löw's team does seem to interest him a lot, since in recent months he has starred in a public spike with Marc-André ter Stegen (Barcelona) which has created debate across the country.

The problem seems to be the length of what would be his new contract. Neuer wants it to be long-lasting, but Bayern is aware that he is already 33 years old and thinks that the best thing is to keep renewing him little by little. That should not have pleased the German goalkeeper and now it seems that the negotiations to renew him are in danger. In any case, there is still plenty of room for conversations to get back on track.

This season, until the break came, he wore 38 goals conceded in 37 official matchess with his club (an average of 1.03 goals per game), leaving his goal at zero fifteen times, four of them in Champions League.
