Manuel Neuer is having a fantastic season and is in his best form. It is still open whether Neuer will continue his career after the end of this season. Christoph Freund, the sporting director of the German football club Bayern Munich, said that the club is not targeting deals in the upcoming January, as the team's squad will be boosted by players returning from injuries. Freund said: 'In principle, I have learned in football never to rule anything out 100%, but this is not planned, because we are well organized.' Freund stated that the return of 'very important' players Hiroki Ito, Alphonso Davies, and Jamal Musiala from injuries in the coming weeks will give the team a big boost. He said: 'We hope that these will be our winter signings, and after that we will be in a very strong position.' Japanese player Ito has already returned from a broken foot bone and has come on as a substitute in matches, while Davies has now returned to the team's training after a cruciate ligament tear. Musiala (22 years old), who suffered a leg fracture and an ankle dislocation during the Club World Cup in July last year, is also training with the ball again. Freund also reviewed the next steps regarding the future of goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. 'The most important thing is that he feels fit, stays healthy, and continues to deliver strong levels.' Freund noted. Neuer, who will turn 40 in March and has played for Bayern since 2011, has made some unusual mistakes recently, but Freund is not concerned about that. He said: 'I don't see a problem at all. He is a very important pillar for us.' We will discuss this in the spring.
