Bayern Munich could see one of their greatest goalkeepers in Manuel Neuer retire very soon, leaving an open space between the sticks. The club is yet to find the perfect and permanent replacement, but Alexander Nübel could very well be the one.
Nübel proved his prowess and skill as a keeper not too long ago, before being loaned out to AS Monaco for two seasons to develop even further. At Monaco, he proved to be quite the goalie, holding his own against the likes of Kylian Mbappe in Ligue 1. He returned to Bayern Munich, but was immediately loaned out to VfB Stuttgart.
Alexander Nübel has definitely made the same mark at Stuttgart, with reports of the clubs satisfaction with his performances. According to Dennis Bayer (captured by @iMiaSanMia), Stuttgart is definitely interested in renewing his contract to make him stay until 2026. Their satisfaction in his performances and potential to be a leading player is what prompts their interest. However, this entirely depends on Manuel Neuer’s future at Bayern. The clubs number 1 keeper is (arguably) showing signs of slowing down, and they might need to replace their legend very soon. Should Neuer choose to leave this season, Bayern may very well bring back Nübel in 2025.
What do you think? Should Bayern bring him back now to prepare him as a replacement? Or give him some more time to develop?
