Manuel Neuer’s returning for another Bayern Munich season. With him, the Bayern goalkeeper situation is settled — and it is leaving loanee Alexander Nübel out in the cold.
From Sport Bild, as captured by @iMiaSanMia:
Following Manuel Neuer’s contract extension, Alexander Nübel’s hopes to return to Bayern have definitely been dashed. After Jonas Urbig’s rapid development, Bayern have dismissed Nübel and were no longer considered him as a serious option for the future. The club now wants to avoid a scenario
where Nübel returns in the summer and potentially causes unrest in the harmonious existing group of goalkeepers. Bayern want to find a solution and, ideally, sell Nübel to a Premier League club. However with 4 years remaining on his contract and a salary of around €11m/year, finding suitors won’t be an easy task. Stuttgart cannot afford that and are planning with Dennis Seimen as their future goalkeeper [@BILD]
Neuer, Urbig, and Sven Ulreich will man the position well for Bayern, but Nübel is in a tough spot. After three seasons at VfB Stuttgart, he no longer has a place in the squad going forward — the life of a loanee. This juncture has been a long ways coming, and now it is here. Can Bayern find an English club in time before Nübel comes back on the club’s books?
