Bayern Munich firm on Alexander Nubel transfer decision after 5-0 Stuttgart hammering | OneFootball

Bayern Munich want to sell Alexander Nübel at the earliest opportunity.

The backup goalkeeper, currently on loan at VfB Stuttgart, has, as things currently stand, no future with the reigning Bundesliga champions.

However, there is already some concern over securing an exit destination for the shotstopper.

Bayern Munich may look to the Premier League to offload their backup goalkeeper.

The problem for the Bavarians is that Nübel currently has a very high salary (€10m a year).

Bayern are paying two-thirds of this whilst he remains on loan with Stuttgart. So we can safely say that this is already quite expensive for VfB, and they don’t know if they can make it work beyond the loan spell.

In that event, it’s getting difficult to find an alternative club for him.

At this point in time, Bayern Munich are thinking of a Premier League club that could pay this amount of money.

Ultimately, Alexander Nübel is still a very good goalkeeper who has a chance at becoming Germany’s next goalkeeper.

How did Nübel fare during Stuttgart vs Bayern?

A quick glance at the scoresheet for VfB Stuttgart’s hosting of FC Bayern at the MHP Arena would suggest Nübel suffered a poor audition in goal against his current employers.

Of course, it’s worth bearing in mind that this is a Bayern team that has so far proven unstoppable in Germany.

A tally of 49 goals registered is 21 clear of their nearest rivals, equating to 3.76 goals per game in the Bundesliga.

Alexander Nübel shouldn’t be held solely responsible for the hammering Stuttgart suffered at home, but he hardly put up a performance to help the hosts maintain a foothold in the game.

It is indeed true that FC Bayern want to part ways with Nübel.

The reasoning is simple – the club’s chiefs believe that Manuel Neuer is going to sign a contract extension, and ultimately, there is faith in Jonas Urbig (22) as the 39-year-old’s successor.

They trust in Urbig, whilst Daniel Peretz (25) is considered the German’s potential number two. So there isn’t space for Nübel.
