 Neuer to extend Bayern stay

 Manuel Neuer is set to extend his stay with Bayern Munich to 15 years by penning a new contract with the Bundesliga giants.

Neuer joined Bayern in 2011 and has gone on to make 541 appearances for the club in all competitions, the eighth-most among all players in their illustrious history.

The 2014 World Cup winner has made 357 of those appear­ances in the Bundesliga, the seventh-most of any goalkeeper, and has kept a re­cord-breaking 167 clean sheets.

Neuer’s contract at the Allianz Arena is due to expire in June, but having re-established himself as Bayern’s number one after an injury-hit period, he is now set to stay.
