Manuel Neuer to maintain playing time balance with Jonas Urbig

Manuel Neuer has rejected reports suggesting Jonas Urbig will receive more playing time next season. The veteran goalkeeper will continue as Bayern Munich's number one after signing a one-year contract extension following his performance in the 2025/26 season. Last season, Neuer shared significant minutes with Urbig, who played 1,111 minutes compared to Neuer's 1,859 due to minor injuries. Neuer emphasized the importance of their support within the goalkeeping squad. Urbig is expected to maintain a significant role in the upcoming season despite Neuer's status as the starting keeper.
