BERLIN - Bayern Munich target Manuel Neuer captained Schalke 04 to its fifth German Cup title as second-division Duisburg was hammered 5-0 in Saturday's final on what may have been his last game for the club.

The 25-year-old has told Schalke he will not stay past June 2012 and with Bavarian giants Bayern waiting to sign him for a reported 25 million euros before next season, Neuer lifted the German Cup at Berlin's Olympic Stadium.

Bayern is in talks with Schalke about signing the Germany goalkeeper and it seems to be a case of when, not if, Neuer will go to Munich.
