Bayern Munich News: Alexander Nübel wants return, but could have contract terminated

Report: Nübel wants return, Bayern might want to terminate contract (Kicker via Tz) Bayern Munich goalkeeper Alexander Nübel has seemingly been on loan forever. After a successful stint with AS Monaco, Nübel landed at VfB Stuttgart, where he has performed well. Now, though, rumors are emerging that Nübel wants a return to Bavaria to compete for a starting job — if Manuel Neuer retires.

However, Bayern Munich might not actually want him back: According to information from Kicker, this stance has since changed. He reportedly wants to face the competition from the much younger Jonas Urbig in Munich – and, should Neuer retire in the summer, fight for the position of FCB’s first-choice goalkeeper. An understandable move.

The specialist magazine Kicker has now revealed surprising information from Säbener Straße regarding the Nübel situation: Apparently, there are “isolated considerations” to terminate Nübel’s contract prematurely. In this case, the club would not only forgo a transfer fee but would also likely have to pay the three-time international “a substantial double-digit million euro sum as a kind of severance payment. ” Should such considerations actually exist among the FC Bayern management and even be implemented, the “Nübel chapter” at the record champions would end with a considerable loss.

The Bavarians will have some tough decisions to make, but nothing will be decided until Neuer informs the club whether or not he is coming back for the 2026/27 campaign. Right now, that all seems up in the air.
