The 34-year-old's contract at the Allianz Arena is set to expire at the end of next season, and negotiations with Bayern over a renewal so far have not been fruitful. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said that Neuer is close to putting pen to paper on a new contract while speaking to Skyahead of Bayern's 2-0 win over 1. FC Union Berlin on Sunday: "I'm cautiously optimistic that Manuel will soon accept FC Bayern's offer. "Manuel Neuer knows what he has at FC Bayern and FC Bayern knows what it has in Manuel Neuer. Therefore, it is a marriage that will continue in the future."
