  "account": "MUNICH, GERMANY - AUGUST 15: Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, 40, discussed the factors he will consider in deciding whether to retire. In an interview with Sport1, Neuer denied rumors about retiring at the end of the 2026/27 season. The primary factor, according to Neuer, is his physical condition. However, given his 20-year career as a professional footballer, his decision may also depend on the stress of being a vital player for the team. Neuer expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming season, aiming to give his best effort, and stated that only after that will he determine if he should continue playing or not. Neuer acknowledged that his physical abilities have changed since his serious injuries and that Jonas Urbig will be ready to assume his role should Neuer choose to end his career in 2027.",
