The goalkeeper has enjoyed domestic and European success at the Bavarian side but will look for another challenge if they do not invest
Manuel Neuer is considering leaving Bayern Munich over concerns the squad is not strong enough to match his ambition, his agent says.
"He wants to win Euro 2020 and he wants to win the Champions League again," Kroth told Suddeutsche Zeitung .
"Manuel is success-oriented. My impression is that the gap to the top four English top teams is already serious and the Munich squad is currently not yet as competitive or set up to tackle Manuel's goals seriously.
"When he realises that Bayern are responding, then he will probably blossom again.
"He does not want to retire in 2021. Now he is in the phase in which he has to decide: how will things progress in the future?
"Signing a contract extension and ending his career at Bayern is of course the obvious option, but it's not the only one."
Neuer has faced criticism for his sub-par performances for Germany and Bayern over the last year, but Kroth is not concerned about his form, inisisting he is still at his best.
"Much has been said and interpreted against him," Kroth said. "The bottom line was: 'He's 33 years old now and he's starting to break down'.
"Many have interpreted his achievements as having lost the extraordinary and invincible ability."
Bayern begin their 2019-20 season preparations with a friendly against Arsenal on Wednesday July 17 in California, USA.

And honestly. Who needs him? I'm a huge Neuer fan, but I can't think of a big club that needs an upgrade in goal. The only one that I could see happening is psg PSG crying out for a big name keeper, Buffon didn't work. Can see Madrid getting tired of Courtois soon, but this from Neuer is just all talk. Why would madrid get tired of courtois? wtf Trapp has been fantastic for Frankfurt, could probably have him play a role. He should really stay with us in FFM. This.nothing would make feel better than seeing courtois benched.
