Following a successful two-year loan spell at VfB Stuttgart, Alexander Nübel is set to return to Bayern Munich. However, with Jonas Urbig positioned as Manuel Neuer’s understudy and the likely future successor for the number one jersey, a departure for Nübel appears probable.
According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, Beşiktaş is currently engaged in discussions with Nübel’s representatives and Bayern Munich. The Bavarian club is reportedly seeking a transfer fee exceeding €10 million for the 29-year-old goalkeeper, who recorded 11 clean sheets in 34 Bundesliga appearances for Stuttgart during the 2025/26 season. Bild further suggests that Bayern Munich is aiming for a fee in the range of €10 million to €15 million.
Despite Beşiktaş’s interest, Nübel does not seem to favor a move to the Turkish club, as Plettenberg notes that the goalkeeper has several other potential options. Last month, reports indicated that both Manchester City and Juventus had expressed interest in signing Nübel, with initial talks reportedly held with the player’s inner circle. However, Nübel’s reported salary of €11 million could present a significant hurdle for any potential transfer.

According to Florian Plettenberg, Beşiktaş is in negotiations with Nübel’s representatives and Bayern Munich. The German champions are reportedly seeking a transfer fee well in excess of €10 million for the 29-year-old, who kept 11 clean sheets in 34 Bundesliga games for Stuttgart in the 2025/26 season. Bild adds that Bayern Munich is looking for a fee between €10 million and €15 million.
However, Nübel does not appear to favor a move to Beşiktaş, with Plettenberg mentioning that the goalkeeper has several other options available. Last month, it was reported that both Manchester City and Juventus were among the clubs interested in signing Nübel, with initial talks initiated with the player’s entourage. Nevertheless, Nübel’s reported €11 million salary could prove to be an obstacle.
