Goalkeeper hammer at FC Bayern? Explosive report on Nübel! | OneFootball

Alexander Nübel is still on loan from FC Bayern to VfB Stuttgart, but now a real goalkeeping battle for the international keeper could be on the horizon.

The goalkeeping question at FC Bayern is getting hotter and hotter – and now there are new, explosive indications that Alexander Nübel could play a much bigger role in Munich’s plans than recently assumed.

First of all, however, the focus is on Manuel Neuer. His contract expires in the summer and, according to kicker, concrete talks about an extension are planned for January. As reported by Sport BILD, another one-year contract for the soon-to-be 40-year-old is on the table. No coincidence: Neuer has been in top form for months and it is hard to imagine the Bayern team without him. His decision is considered the „first domino“ – only when it is clear how things will continue with him can the next goalkeeping issues be addressed.

After his strong loan spell at VfB Stuttgart, the 29-year-old will return to Munich in the summer. Until now, he was considered to have almost no chance in the battle for the new number one – but that could change. kicker reports that Nübel has „prominent advocates“ internally at FC Bayern. Names are not mentioned in the explosive report, but the wording is clear: Nübel is probably rated much higher at the club than the latest rumours would suggest.

Nübel should not shy away from competition with Urbig

Talks between Bayern and Nübel are set to take place in the spring. According to the report, the keeper is not afraid of competing with Jonas Urbig, who is seen as a great promise for the future. His advantage: Nübel’s contract even runs until 2030 – one year longer than that of Urbig, who is seven years younger.

However, it is also clear that if Neuer extends his contract, things could get tight. According to kicker, one of the two young goalkeepers could leave the club in order to play regularly and consistently develop their own career.

Meanwhile, VfB Stuttgart are already preparing for the future without Nübel, with Dennis Seimen, currently on loan to SC Paderborn, a promising successor.

The goalkeeper summer of 2026 therefore promises maximum excitement – and FC Bayern will have to make several decisions that will determine the long-term direction of this key position.
