Bayern goalkeeper Alexander Nübel: “I’ve been there for a while now”

A competitive situation that Nübel, who is on loan to VfB from FC Bayern, accepts with a certain level of calm. Upon request from Absolutely footballthe football portal from Home of Sports, The keeper had no problem praising his goalkeeper colleague highly:Jonas played a great game against us.”

About the lost direct duel against Urbig and the discussions surrounding the Bayern goal, Nübel said: “I’ve been involved in football for a long time now and since I’ve been at Bayern, there have been some rumors, some speculation, some duels every year, that’s completely normal.”

He appears in the newspaper three to four times a year, but not “actively with statements”, but always “passively”. However, the goalkeeper doesn’t have a problem with being in public: “That’s part of it.” Nübel is on loan from FC Bayern to VfB Stuttgart until the end of the season.

A future for the goalkeeper in Stuttgart beyond the season is unlikely. Nübel probably doesn’t have a chance in Munich either and is therefore likely to aim for a change. He still has a contract in Munich (until 2030 editor’s note) and everything is open, said Nübel, who is also looking forward to his future.

When will he think about how things can continue? Upon request from Absolutely football he replied quickly: “I hope that we go very far in the DFB Cup and in Europe, then I’ll start very late.”
