“AZ”: Neuer stays until 2027: FC Bayern denies report about Neuer extension

“This is the first time I’ve heard that,” said sports director Christoph Freund in response to a question in the press conference before the Bundesliga game in Mainz. “Often the media knows more than we apparently do. There haven’t been any discussions yet, so I’m a bit surprised. I don’t know where that comes from. We’re in the middle or end of April and we’ve always said the same thing: that we’re in contact with Manu.” Neuer has “his timeline,” added Freund. “But as I said: There hasn’t been a conversation with Manu yet.”
