Veteran Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer said it is “very likely” he will retire at the end of the upcoming season.

Speaking at a training camp in southern Bavaria on Tuesday evening, the 40-year-old Bayern captain said he was almost certain this campaign would be his last.

“It certainly looks very likely I’m going to retire,” Neuer told reporters.

In May, Neuer signed a one-year contract extension.

Neuer said the potential of the current Bayern squad convinced him to keep playing.
