DBasia.news – Bayern Munich manager, Hans Dieter Flick, hopes that Manuel Neuer and David Alabar will follow in the footsteps of Thomas Mueller who extended his tenure with Die Roten.
Tuesday (07/04), Bayern Munich announced the extension of Thomas Mueller’s contract. The Die Roten academy player is certain to last until 2023. Among the players who will expire in 2021, he is the first to extend his contract.
Hansi Flick welcomed this. He also hoped that the other pillars would also immediately agreed to extend the contract with Bayern Munich. Among them are Manuel Neuer, David Alaba, and Thiago Alcantara.
“They have made amazing progress and are our key players. The club knows exactly that. I hope everything goes in the right direction, “Hansi Flick said as quoted from Sport1.
Flick specifically spoke about captain Manuel Neuer, who had rejected Bayern Munich’s initial offer.
“I have explained my thoughts regarding Manu. We have known each other for a while. It is up to him to make the decision. He knows what he has at Bayern. “Not only me, but everyone in the club will be thrilled if he signs a contract extension,” he explained.
Hansi Flick was quite worried as the contract extension process for Manuel Neuer was not smooth. The captain insisted on asking for a five-year contract that guaranteed him to be at Bayern until the age of 39. Meanwhile, Die Roten’s management only offered a two-year contract.
