Following his international retirement after Germany's World Cup exit against Paraguay, Neuer expressed eagerness to refocus on club objectives alongside teammates Joshua Kimmich, Nathaniel Brown, Jonathan Tah, Aleksandar Pavlovic, Hiroki Ito, Minjae Kim, Bara Ndiaye, and Jonas Urbig.

"I think somehow you are also happy that it starts again and that you have new goals and can achieve a lot, also with the club.

And that is now our goal," said Neuer.

The squad maintains high ambitions following last season's domestic double and Champions League semifinal run.

"I believe that we played a good season and that we have the players in the team who also have the opportunity to beat everyone and also achieve all goals," said Neuer.

Regarding the new additions and overall squad composition, the goalkeeper voiced total satisfaction with the club's transfer business, which includes £50 million signing Nathaniel Brown and Ismael Saibari.

"One also has to say that we have no departures from the first XI where you say: Someone is completely breaking away from us.

I believe that the new signings also bring enough power to take us further.

We are happy that we made these transfers and can welcome these players to the team," said Neuer.

Despite designated successor Jonas Urbig making 21 appearances last season—including 15 Bundesliga matches, three DFB-Pokal games, and three Champions League fixtures totaling 1,650 minutes—Neuer clarified that the goalkeeper rotation will remain largely unchanged.

"No, I think it will run similarly to last season.

We will support each other, we have a good goalkeeper team, also with Ulle and the young goalkeepers.

The important thing is that we help each other, that we push each other, so that we can always give the best for the team in the goalkeeper position.

And that's how it will run this season too," said Neuer.

Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen confirmed that most international players returned without major injuries, except for Lennart Karl, who was injured prior to the tournament.
