Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is likely to retire after the current season, according to reports. The 40-year-old was substituted due to injury during the Bundesliga match between 1. FSV Mainz 05 and FC Bayern München at MEWA Arena on November 7, 2026.
Neuer, who has been a cornerstone of Bayern's success for over a decade, left the pitch in the first half of the fixture in Mainz, Germany. The injury adds to speculation about the future of the World Cup-winning goalkeeper, whose contract situation and recent fitness issues have fueled retirement rumors.
The German international has won numerous Bundesliga titles, DFB-Pokal trophies, and two UEFA Champions League titles with Bayern since joining from Schalke in 2011. He also captained Germany to World Cup glory in 2014.
