Official: Beşiktaş complete signing of Bayern Munich's Alexander Nübel | OneFootball

After much speculation in recent weeks, Alexander Nübel has completed his transfer from FC Bayern Munich to join Beşiktaş.

The 29-year-old goalkeeper had moved to Munich on a free transfer from Schalke in 2020, most recently playing on loan at VfB Stuttgart.

Stuttgart, who enjoyed the goalkeeper's presence for three years, were eager to keep Nübel but couldn't afford his wages.

Back at his parents club, the shot-stopper was seen as surplus to requirements with Manuel Neuer, Jonas Urbig and Sven Ulreich present.

“Alexander Nübel is a very good goalkeeper who has consistently developed and established himself at FC Bayern, Monaco and Stuttgart.

"He now wants to take the next step at Besiktas. We wish him all the best for his future," said Max Eberl, FC Bayern board member for sport.

Nübel won the Bundesliga, Club World Cup, Super Cup and domestic Supercup during his first season at Bayern, in which he made four appearances.
