The 40-year-old goalie has not yet made the decision to retire, but recent reports from Germany suggest that his standing injury could speed up that decision.
Neuer is considered one of the best goalkeepers in football history, while his departure would create a huge gap in the bavarese team.
According to journalist Florian Pletenberg, Baiern Munichu sees Jonas Ubbigun as Neuer’s successor in the position of the first goalkeeper, but also wants to transfer an experienced goalkeeper who would serve as an alternative.
On the list of potential candidates are Oliver Baumann of Hoffmann, Bernd Lenno of Fulham, and Loris Karius, former Liverpool porter.
German club leaders are expected to assess the possibilities in the coming months, in order to prepare the team better for the period after Neuer.
