For over a decade, Manuel Neuer has been more than just a goalkeeper for Bayern Munich — he’s been a symbol of the club’s identity and dominance, both in Germany and across Europe.
While age and injuries have entered the conversation, his contract shows Bayern’s continued faith in their long-time captain. His salary still places him among the elite, even in a squad filled with international stars.
What he earns today reflects not just past glory, but the weight of experience and presence in the locker room. The structure of his deal says as much about the club’s values as it does about his enduring stature.
What is Manuel Neuer’s salary at Bayern Munich?
Manuel Neuer remains among Europe’s best-compensated goalkeepers. According to sources like Capology, his 2024–25 base salary stands at €21 million gross, translating to roughly €404,000 per week.

That figure positions him at the top of Bayern’s wage list and cements his status as the world’s highest-paid gloveman—even as he edges closer to his fourth decade on the pitch.
In addition to that hefty base, his deal reportedly includes performance-based bonuses—likely tied to clean sheets, appearances and team success. This blend of high fixed pay and incentive clauses reflects the ongoing faith in his leadership.
How long will Manuel Neuer be at Bayern Munich?
In February 2025, Bayern Munich confirmed a one-year contract extension through June 30, 2026, marking his 15th campaign with the club. The renewal aligns with the approach to veteran stars: short-term deals that allow both player and club to reassess season by season.
With his 40th birthday looming before the current deal ends, he clearly intends to finish his career at Bayern, at least through this next season. The club, for their part, is planning ahead—grooming younger keeper Jonas Urbig while retaining the veteran’s presence.
