Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has signed a new five-year deal with Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n
World Cup winner Neuer’s previous deal was to expire in 2019, and he follows team-mates Jerome Boateng, Thomas Muller, David Alaba and Javi Martinez in committing to the club until 2021.<\/p>\n
The Germany international, 30, has won three Bundesliga titles, two German Cups and the Champions League since joining Bayern from Schalke in 2011.<\/p>\n
Pep Guardiola’s team are on course to win the treble this season.<\/p>\n
The Bavarians beat Werder Bremen 2-0 in their German Cup semi-final on Tuesday and will play the winner of Wednesday’s game between Hertha Berlin and Borussia Dortmund in the final.<\/p>\n
They have a seven-point lead over Dortmund at the top of the Bundesliga with four games left and play Atletico Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals.<\/p>\n
This season will be Guardiola’s last at the club before he takes over at Manchester City, with former Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti succeeding him.
