Manuel Neuer, a 40-year-old German goalkeeper, could leave Bayern Munich after a fifteen-year tenure, as he continues to play at a high level despite some speculation about his retirement. English club Brighton has shown interest in the goalkeeper, and a move would not necessarily mean the end of his career.
Other English media outlets have reported that Brighton confirmed their interest and that manager Fabian Hürzeler personally insisted on the transfer. The Premier League club is reportedly motivated by the prospect of adding an experienced and charismatic figure to their dressing room. Neuer's contract with Bayern expires in June, and he is expected to begin negotiations with the club's management soon to resolve the situation. The final decision will be made by the player himself, and he may choose to retire if he does not reach an agreement with Bayern. The goalkeeper has 124 caps for Germany and has made 21 appearances in the 2025/2026 Bundesliga season. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is currently estimated to be €4.00m.
