Neuer has caused a stir in the German national team.

The 39-year-old goalkeeper is open to the possibility of returning to the German national team for the 2026 World Cup, according to his agent Thomas Kroth.

Manuel Neuer has made 124 appearances for the German national team.

Neuer's agent, Thomas Kroth, raised hopes of the Bayern Munich goalkeeper's return in an interview with Frankfurter Rundschau : "If I give a clear answer now, it will open up a whole series of problems. Manuel is in top form and performing excellently. If coach Julian Nagelsmann sees a problem in the goalkeeping position, if Manuel is fit and asked, he certainly wouldn't refuse."

According to Kicker , a statement from Thomas Kroth's agent has caused a stir in the German national team's dressing room. Neuer announced his retirement from the German national team after Euro 2024. His hint at a potential return could create conflict with Marc-Andre ter Stegen or Oliver Baumann, who are currently expected to be Germany's starting goalkeepers.

In the past, the goalkeeper position in the German national team has also been a subject of controversy, with Ter Stegen and other goalkeepers claiming that previous German national team coaches have shown too much favoritism towards Neuer. Against this backdrop, Coach Nagelsmann emphasized that his plan is for Ter Stegen to return to the starting lineup once he recovers, but only on the condition that he regains his starting position at Barcelona.

“I plan for Stegen to play when he’s fit. Of course, Marc needs to play regularly, and he knows that,” Nagelsmann affirmed, while also declining to comment on Neuer’s potential return.
