Neuer is very old now and that's why I think he won't be able to play like before even if he recovers from his injury. Goalkeepers can play for longer years than other football players, but their reflexes slow down and they cannot play as well as they used to. Currently, there are goalkeepers among the young goalkeepers who we can say are very good, but I am not sure whether they deserve the money paid to transfer them. I think the current goalkeepers are not playing well according to their value
It could be said that goalkeepers have more flying hours than outfield players. Neuer still has full trust from Bayern Munich and also the German national team to fill the main goalkeeper position. He still wants to play even though he is 37 years old, of course the physical strength and reflexes possessed by players of that age will decrease due to age.
Neuer prowess when guarding the crossbar reminds me of Buffon, these two players have the same characteristics, they can both maintain their performance even though they are old. Neuer position is still very difficult for other goalkeepers to shift, the negative impact of his consistent performance could hamper the regeneration of the goalkeepers for Bayern Munich and the German national team.
Basically Buffon has no history of serious injuries, so Buffon can play and/or retire at the age of +40. Meanwhile regarding Neuer, the serious injury he suffered will of course greatly affect his recovery and performance as well. But yes, I think basically Bayern Munich should have a young goalkeeper for the long term too, of course. Because I believe, if Bayern Munich always expects Neuer to recover and has a high dependence on Neuer, it seems that this is no longer the right way for a team as big as Bayern Munich.
