Neuer accepts a pay cut in his new contract

Bayern Munich have reached a full agreement with veteran German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to extend his contract for an additional season, with the player agreeing to a pay cut as part of the new deal . According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, the contracts could be signed before Saturday's match against Cologne, given the significant progress made in negotiations between the two parties . Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the renewal negotiations entered their final stage about ten days ago, noting that the agreement is now awaiting final approval from both lawyers before the contract is officially signed . Romano added that the new contract for the 40-year-old Neuer will run until the summer of 2027, allowing the veteran goalkeeper to continue his journey with the Bavarian giants for several more years.
