Goalkeeper change? Bayern think about radical Nübel plan | OneFootball

Alexander Nübel is currently still on loan from FC Bayern to VfB Stuttgart and his future is uncertain. Are the record champions even planning a radical move for the goalkeeper?

fC Bayern signed Alexander Nübel on a free transfer from Schalke 04 in 2020. At the time, he was regarded as a very talented goalkeeper who was to be built up behind Manuel Neuer. Nübel has not played much for Bayern so far, making four appearances in the record champions‘ shirt

Instead, he was sent out on loan to gain match practice. He has played 97 games for AS Monaco and 120 for VfB Stuttgart. However, his employer is still FC Bayern, who have paid a large part of the player’s salary during his loan spells

FC Bayern: Radical plan with Nübel?

But what happens next? It has currently been agreed that Nübel, who is tied to the record champions until 2030, will return in the summer. Discussions will then take place in Munich on how to proceed. FC Bayern’s entire goalkeeper planning is currently somewhat influenced by the fact that Manuel Neuer’s departure cannot yet be ruled out. Discussions on the future have been postponed

Recently, there have also been rumours that Nübel would want to fight for his starting place if Neuer were to leave. There could then be a duel with Jonas Urbig, who has often deputized for Neuer this season. According to kicker, FC Bayern are also said to have already had discussions about the keeper, who is currently on loan to Stuttgart. Some of the bosses have allegedly come to the conclusion that it would be best for the club to get rid of Alexander Nübel. Due to the contract and salary, there has even been talk of terminating the contract prematurely

A contract termination would also come with a severance payment for the player. That doesn’t seem ideal at all, especially as Bayern currently like to turn over every penny twice in order to generate the maximum amount of revenue so that it can be reinvested. And that without taking too much financial risk in the end. So for now, the scenario still seems unlikely.
