Hoeneß thus complies with the club’s requirement that they first want to concentrate on the games against PSG. At the same time, he puts the club bosses under pressure to quickly clarify the Neuer case and to position themselves publicly again. Bayern have signed a new goalkeeper in Yann Sommer. Who will be number one after the season seems open. Neuer’s contract with the Bundesliga leaders is valid until June 30, 2024.
“The interview caused a stir and excitement and surprised me too,” says Hoeneß. “Meanwhile, Julian (Trainer Julian Nagelsmann, d. Red.) exchanged with Manuel, some peace has come into the story. In the first few days, the media took over the baton and the sovereignty of interpretation, it must not and will not remain like this.”
“No irreconcilable differences”
Hoeneß firmly assumes that Neuer will play for Bayern again next season: “I don’t see any irreconcilable differences, the problems are there and they have to be discussed and resolved calmly and openly.”
The 36-year-old Neuer made a significant contribution “to our successes and the successes of the national team. And when he recovers, he will put the gloves back on.”
At the beginning of the month, Neuer caused a stir with an interview in the “SZ”, in which he sharply criticized the separation of the Munich team from goalkeeping coach Toni Tapalovic.
Hoeneß now also strengthened Nagelsmann: “Julian is the right one, a very young, very capable and very thoughtful coach who doesn’t chew every sentence five times before saying it. I like that. Julian learns quickly and does an excellent job. Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic didn’t give him a five-year contract for nothing.”
