Search for a new replacement
Manuel Neuer (36) is missing from FC Bayern with a broken lower leg for the rest of the season and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic told “Sport Bild” before Christmas: “Of course Alexander Nübel would be an obvious solution”. The Munich team loaned Nübel to AS Monaco and the former Schalke player, who moved to Säbener Straße for free, wants to stay there at least until the end of the season.

“It makes little sense that I come back,” said Nübel of “picture‘ after Wednesday’s 3-2 win over Auxerre. “I’m glad I’m here and I still have a lot of games ahead of me with Monaco. I realized here how important games are. I don’t want to do without that anymore.” At Bayern, the 26-year-old goalkeeper spent the 2020/21 season on the bench and was only used four times – in the summer of 2021 he went on loan to Monaco, where the former U21 national player is seeded . Neuer and Nübel are the German goalkeepers with the highest market values after Marc-André ter Stegen (30, Barça), who kept his goal clean the most in 2022 compared to his compatriots: 21 times in 49 games. Nübel managed this 14 times, Neuer kept twelve clean sheets.
Nübel on returning to Bayern: AS Monaco has the last word
Nübel apparently doesn’t want to go back to Munich, but “ultimately AS Monaco has the decision, I’m under contract here. They would first have to give the signal that they want to do it. I think it’s going to be very difficult.” In Munich, Nübel’s contract runs until 2025 and Neuer’s until 2024. Last May, Monaco’s number one made it clear: “If Manu should still be there when I come back, it probably won’t work anymore . If Manu is still there, it doesn’t make sense. ”Consequently, Nübel’s return is unlikely not only in January, but also next July.
Most recently, Bayern were associated with Croatia’s World Cup hero Dominik Livakovic (27, Dinamo Zagreb), which turned out to be a duck. The trail to Mönchengladbach is hotter, where Yann Sommer (34) is considered a change candidate six months before his contract expires.

Meanwhile, Nübel wishes Neuer a quick comeback from Monaco: “I don’t know how serious Manuel’s injury is. But I think he will be fit again by the summer, at the latest in preparation for the next season. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for him.”
