BERLIN, July 6-- 2019 German Champions Bayern Munich remain in a state of unrest, and its leaders have kept under steady fire due to their reluctant transfer policy. After former French international Franck Ribery and German international Joshua Kimmich demanded a greater effort to increase the squad's quality, now Manuel Neuer launched an attack ahead of the 2019/2020 Bundesliga campaign. The 2017 World Champion indicated he could leave the 2013 treble winners if the Bavarian's squad isn't strong enough to achieve his personal goals. The statements of his agent Thomas Kroth in a recent interview can be seen as a warning shot for Bayern's board including Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, President Uli Hoeness, and Sports Director Hasan Salihamidzic. The 59-year-old former professional said the German national keeper still is highly ambitious despite his 33 years of age and wants to win the 2020 European Championships and again the Champions League. Kroth underlined that Neuer doesn't intend to end his career in 2021 when his current contract expires. To extend his contract in Munich is one option, "but not the only one." "Manuel is success orientated," Kroth stressed while talking about a significant quality gap between Bayern and leading top international outfits. "The impression is that the gap to the four leading English clubs is already significant and Bayern's current squad isn't competitive enough to achieve Manuel's goals." |
