In recent years, FC Schalke 04 has repeatedly produced talent from the Knappenschmiede, who have made their way to the top of the world via the S04. Players like Leroy Sane and Manuel Neuer have matured into world-class players. Now a teammate of the two Bayern players could be facing a mega contract extension!
Although Alexander Nübel has been under contract with FC Bayern since 2020, he only made four competitive appearances for Munich in almost four years. Nübel’s original plan to become Manuel Neuer’s long-term successor seemed to have become a long way off. But now the tide could be turning!
FC Schalke 04: Nübel is about to extend his contract until 2030!
Nübel is having an outstanding season with VfB Stuttgart and has already played twelve games without conceding a goal. For comparison: Manuel Neuer only has nine games with a clean slate. This development did not go unnoticed at Bayern. Nübel is now facing a contract extension until 2030 – including a big salary increase!

According to information from Sky and “Bild”, Nübel will remain in Stuttgart for another year. Background: The Paderborn native will most likely play the Champions League with VfB in the coming season, and he is also the undisputed regular player there. At FC Bayern, however, Manuel Neuer’s contract expires in the summer of 2025. An indication that Nübel will then inherit the 38-year-old?
Nübel has important supporters in Munich
Meanwhile, at FC Bayern they seem to be convinced of Nübel’s performance. According to the Bild podcast “Bayern-Insider”, Nübel’s personnel should be Uli Hoeneß’s desired solution for the goalkeeper position. Goalkeeping coach Michaelrechner, who, like Neuer and Nübel, has already worked for S04, is also said to be a big fan of the 27-year-old.
For Nübel, however, the journey should initially continue in Stuttgart. The Swabians have already secured qualification for the Europa League. They are already seven points ahead of fifth place in the table. Participation in the Champions League is almost guaranteed.
