Contrary to media speculation, Manuel Neuer has decided to leave the German national team right before the Nations League preparation session.

| Neuer leaves German national team after 15 years |
After EURO 2024, Ilkay Gundogan, Toni Kroos and Thomas Muller will retire from international football. Toni Kroos even announced his plan to hang up his boots early before the tournament.
In that context, German fans hoped that Manuel Neuer would continue to play for the national team and provide a support for young players, especially when the "Tank" was strongly rejuvenating under coach Nagelsmann. However, after a month and a half of thinking, Neuer suddenly announced his retirement from the German national team.
On his personal page, the 38-year-old goalkeeper shared: “Everyone who knows me knows that this decision was not easy. I feel very good physically and of course the 2026 World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico is extremely attractive. However, I believe that this is the right time for me to stop and focus completely on Bayern Munich.”
“I had a great time playing for Germany and I am very proud of that. Winning the 2014 World Cup and experiencing the atmosphere of EURO 2024 at home were highlights for which I am very grateful. It is also a great honour to have been captain of the German national team until this year.”
Manuel Neuer is a legend of German and European football. The goalkeeper grew up and shone at Schalke 04 before moving to Bayern Munich in 2011. He made his debut for the German national team in 2009 and has been the number 1 goalkeeper since the 2010 World Cup.
Throughout his career, Manuel Neuer has been the number one choice in goal for Bayern Munich and the German national team unless injured. He has a total of 124 caps for Germany, culminating in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
At EURO 2024, Manuel Neuer showed good form and contributed greatly to Germany's quarter-final, where they only narrowly lost to Spain in extra time. Therefore, fans believe that this goalkeeper will continue to wear the German national team shirt despite the age issue. With his retirement from international football, Manuel Neuer wants to focus on prolonging his time at Bayern Munich during a difficult period for the club.
