Manuel ​Neuer denies Bayern Munich extension close

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is not close to signing an extension.

The German shot stopper is involved in protracted contract talks with the club.

The 34-year-old is reportedly asking for a five year deal, something he has denied.

The club want him to stay, despite the arrival of Alexander Nubel from Schalke in the summer.

"I think Karl-Heinz Rummenigge knows what's going on. There is nothing to announce at the moment," said Neuer to reporters.

"There is no ultimatum. It is not necessary to make such a decision at the moment.

"We are both optimistic, of course, but it is still not clear at all."

Chelsea have recently been linked with the World Cup winner.
