Bayern Munich have presented Manuel Neuer with a reduced contract offer as the club continues to shape its goalkeeping department for the coming years. The German champions are also in active talks with RB Leipzig over a potential move for defender Willi Orbán.
According to sources close to the negotiations, the offer made to Neuer is significantly lower than his current terms. The 2026 World Cup winner, who turns 39 in March, has been a cornerstone of the Bayern setup for over a decade. However, the club’s hierarchy is now looking to adjust his salary in line with a reduced role going forward.
Neuer’s current deal runs until 2025, but Bayern are keen to extend his stay on a more cost-effective basis. The proposal on the table reflects the club’s new wage structure, which has already seen several high earners take pay cuts. No final decision has been made, and talks are expected to continue in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, Bayern have opened discussions with RB Leipzig regarding Willi Orbán. The Hungarian international centre-back is seen as a reliable option to bolster the defensive line. The 31-year-old has been a key figure for Leipzig since joining in 2015, and his experience in the Bundesliga makes him an attractive target.
Orbán’s current contract with Leipzig runs until 2027, meaning any deal would require a significant fee. Bayern are exploring the feasibility of a transfer, though no official bid has been submitted yet. The player is said to be open to the move, but Leipzig are under no pressure to sell.
The developments come as Bayern look to rebuild under new management. With Neuer’s future still uncertain and defensive reinforcements a priority, the club is working on multiple fronts to shape the squad for the 2025-26 season and beyond.
