Manuel Neuer He spoke, before the match against Spain, openly about his future and possible professional options away from FC Bayern. When asked if he was thinking about retiring from the German national team after this European Championship, the goalkeeper resolutely responded in an interview with ‘Die Welt’: “Honestly, I’m not thinking about retiring.”
“For me, psychologically it wouldn’t be good at all” to keep thinking about the end of his career. Neuer fears that these thoughts can hinder him and put pressure on him. “The time will come when I will consider it. But it will not come here or now,” said the 38-year-old footballer.
He also spoke about his future at Bayern Munich (he has a contract until 2025). Surprisingly, he hinted that he might go abroad. “Although you should never say never, I would not go to Saudi Arabia or Qatar. In any case, to the MLS. It would be an option. I talked about it with Bastian Schweinsteiger, who played there” (Chicago Fire), he explained.
However, there is one thing he doesn’t like about MLS: “It’s an option that he should study well, carefully, because a lot of people play on artificial grass, which is not ideal for a goalkeeper.” Throughout his career he has thought about leaving. “I had repeated offers, but I know that at FC Bayern I am in the best place, because of the environment and the team. There is no club where I have enjoyed more.”
