Vincent Kompany Dismisses Speculation Over Manuel Neuer’s Bayern Munich Future

Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has brushed aside questions regarding the future of veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, insisting the club is focused on its current campaign rather than contract talk.

Neuer, 38, has been the subject of increasing speculation surrounding his long-term future, with his contract at Bayern due to expire in the summer. Rumours linking him with a move abroad or a potential retirement have surfaced amid a period of transition for both player and club.

When asked about Neuer’s situation ahead of Bayern’s upcoming fixtures, Kompany maintained a measured stance, stressing that discussions over individual contracts are not the priority at this stage.

“We are concentrating on performance and results right now,” Kompany said. “Manu is a fantastic professional and a leader in this group. Of course we value him highly, but any future decisions will be handled at the appropriate time.”

Kompany’s comments reflect Bayern’s wider approach as they navigate a busy season that includes domestic league commitments and European competition. The club remain keen to maintain stability, with Neuer still considered one of the key figures in the squad despite his advancing years.

Neuer has been integral to Bayern’s success over the past decade, helping the club win multiple Bundesliga titles and a Champions League trophy. His experience and leadership continue to be assets as Bayern aim to challenge on several fronts.

For now, both Kompany and Bayern appear intent on letting on-pitch performance dictate the narrative, deflecting attention away from off-field contract speculation.
