OFFICIAL: 40-year-old Neuer signs a contract extension with Bayern until 2027

Bayern Munich has officially announced that the club has extended contracts with 40-year-old Manuel Neuer and 37-year-old Sven Ulreich, with the new deals running for one year.

According to earlier reports from Sky Germany, Neuer's salary has been reduced; his current annual salary is €20 million before tax. Ulreich will continue to serve as the team's second-choice goalkeeper, but is expected to see more playing time next season than he did this campaign, and he plans to stay with the club. Fabrizio Romano also notes that Neuer still remains in contention for Germany's World Cup squad.

Neuer joined Bayern Munich from Schalke 04 in 2011, and next season will mark his 16th year with the club. This season, he has made 36 appearances across all competitions for Bayern, keeping 11 clean sheets and conceding 39 goals.
