Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has announced that he will soon decide on his retirement but insists that this choice will not be influenced by the trophies Bayern Munich might win this season. Currently, Bayern is on the verge of securing the Bundesliga title and holds a 2-1 lead against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. Neuer, who turned 40 recently, mentioned in a news conference that while he hopes for success, his decision will be made independently of the team's achievements. He signed a one-year contract last season and could opt for another if he chooses to continue playing. With increasing injury concerns, he is aware that Jonas Urbig is waiting as a potential successor.
