Bayern would be stupid to let Neuer go - Maier

Longtime Bayern Munich goalkeeper Sepp Maier says the German champions would be "stupid" to let Manuel Neuer leave the club as his contract nears its end.

Neuer's deal with Bayern is set to expire in summer 2021, and the two sides have been in negotiations over a new contract in recent months.

However, Neuer and Bayern have yet to come to an agreement on a new deal, with reports stating that the goalkeeper is looking to sign a contract through 2025.

Bayern have already begun to prepare for life after Neuer, having agreed to sign 23-year-old up-and-comer Alexander Nubel from Schalke, the same club that gave Neuer his start.
