Chelsea and Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing Germany captain Manuel Neuer, whose contract extension talks have stalled at Bayern Munich, according to magazine Kicker.

The goalkeeper's current deal expires in June 2021 and Neuer, 34, is said to be angry that details of the renegotiations have been leaked to the German press, according to Kicker.

Germany's top-selling daily Bild claims that Neuer's agent Thomas Kroth has asked Bayern for a salary for his client of 20 million euros ($22 million) per season.

If the talks fail, club captain Neuer could be free to leave Bayern in June and attract the interest of the Premier League clubs. Kicker's chief reporter Karlheinz Wild says the "willingness to resume negotiations" is weak on both sides between Bayern and Neuer.

"It could still take weeks, even months, before a final decision is taken. Positions have so far become too hardened."
