There are increasing indications that the German national team is actively discussing the potential return of Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who stepped away from international duty in 2024. According to Kicker, the topic is being debated far more intensively behind the scenes than what head coach Julian Nagelsmann has publicly shown.
Neuer, now 40, would consider a comeback if he receives a clear signal from Nagelsmann that he is counted on. The veteran shot-stopper has delivered a solid season for Bayern, playing 21 Bundesliga matches and conceding 19 goals. His experience and form could be a key factor for Germany ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
