On May 20, 2020, Bayern Munich announced that Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer had signed a new deal with the club, tying him to the team until 2023.
Neuer's new deal ends weeks of speculation over his future with the Bundesliga champions, with reports that talks between the player and the club had hit a snag.
"During the weeks of the shutdown for the coronavirus pandemic, I didn't want to make a decision because nobody knew if, when and how Bundesliga football would continue," Neuer said in a statement.
Neuer, a World Cup winner in 2014, joined Bayern from Schalke in 2011 and has won numerous titles with the Bavarian giants, including seven Bundesliga titles, five German Cups, and the 2013 Champions League.
As of May 2020, Neuer was on course to win his eighth league crown with Bayern after a 2-0 win at Union Berlin on Sunday that maintained his team's four-point lead at the top of the table.
