Bayern explore creative solutions to offload high-earning Nübel | OneFootball

As Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl and sporting director Christoph Freund recently revealed, the German champions are looking to offload Alexander Nübel this summer once he returns from his loan spell at VfB Stuttgart.

With the Bavarians desperate to get the 29-year-old goalkeeper off their books, Bild reports that their asking price has been lowered from €20 million to €10-15 million.

However, there is one major problem: Nübel is under contract until 2030, currently earns a reported €11 million per year at Bayern, and is highly unlikely to be offered a similar salary elsewhere.

With the former Schalke shot-stopper said to be unwilling to accept a pay cut, Bayern could instead help cover the difference up to his current wages at a potential new club.

The report mentions a potential compensation payment of around €25 million as an option – a significant sum, but still far less than the €44 million Nübel is still owed for the remainder of his contract.

A permanent move to VfB Stuttgart, where Nübel has been on loan for the past three seasons, is said to be ruled out, with the Swabians planning to trust 20-year-old Dennis Seimen as their new No. 1 next season.
