It is still unclear how things will continue with Alexander Nübel at Bayern Munich. The goalkeeper’s future boils down to two scenarios.
According to information from sky haveHasan Salihamidzic and squad planner Marco Neppe met with Nübel in Monaco last Thursday. In the conversation, the goalkeeper once again made it clear that he can only imagine returning to Munich if Manuel Neuer ends his career or leaves Bayern. Neuer’s contract runs until 2024, while Nübel’s working paper runs until 2025.
The 26-year-old is currently on loan at AS Monaco, the loan ends after this season. It is clear that Nübel will not return to Bayern Munich, although the record champions want to extend the contract with the former Schalke player in the long term. Salihamidzic trusts Nübel to play the number one role, but only as a new successor. The sports director recently said about the future of the national keeper sky 90: “I talk to Manuel every day. He says how long he plays.”
What happens next with Nübel depends on Manuel Neuer’s career plans. The future of the former U21 national player boils down to the following two scenarios:
Scenario 1: Nübel stays
In this case, Neuer must stop in 2024. Nübel would then be ready to extend his contract in Munich and be loaned out a third time in the 2023/24 season. In 2024 he would then return to Säbener Straße as seeded number one.
Scenario 2: Nübel goes, Kobel as successor?
If Neuer stays beyond 2024, Nübel will leave Bayern in the summer of 2023 on a permanent transfer. There is already interest from the Premier League, and Monaco also wants to keep the Bayern loan for the long term. If Nübel leaves Bayern, like that sky-Transfer expert Florian Plettenberg, the name of BVB keeper Gregor Kobel will appear again in Munich.
The Swiss had already been brought into play by Lothar Matthäus as a possible new successor last month.
