In an interview with @ZDF (via @iMiaSanMia ) Eberl praised Neuer’s legacy and his influence on the club, and suggested that the captain take a calm approach regarding a decision on his future. “He is a legend. We will sit down and talk calmly.

If Manuel feels ready for it, I wouldn’t know what would speak against him doing it for one more year,” said Eberl. With reports of Neuer being close to extend his contract for a year , the goalkeeper seems to have the support of the whole Bayern front office to continue his legacy at the club.
