Eberl did not mix words and spelled it out clearly to Nübel and his management: “We’ve already made a clear communication to his management that if we decide to extend Manu and Sven’s contracts, and we already have Jonas as #2, then it will be difficult for Alex with us. I’m sure he will have many options to continue his career at another big club” (as recorded by @iMiaSanMia ).

Nübel joined Bayern in Summer of 2020 and has made just four appearances for the team — one Bundesliga, one Pokal, and two Champions League matches. He was sent on loan to AS Monaco for the next two seasons and then has been with VfB Stuttgart for the last three years. His contract with Bayern goes until 2030, while various websites have his market value anywhere from €12-14 million.

This season, Nübel led his team to a Europa League Round of 16, a DFB-Pokal Final berth, and a fourth place finish the Bundesliga — putting Stuttgart back in the Champions League. He was also called into Nagelsmann’s squad for Germany’s World Cup this Summer. Where does his future lie?
