Manchester City and Juventus Target Alexander Nübel Amidst Bayern Exit

Key Takeaways:

• Alexander Nübel featured 49 times for VfB Stuttgart in the 2025/26 season, securing 14 clean sheets
• Both Manchester City and Juventus have established contact with the goalkeeper’s representatives
• Bayern Munich are seeking a transfer fee between €10m and €15m, while Nübel commands a reported €11m annual salary

Situation at Bayern Munich and Stuttgart

After two consecutive seasons on loan at VfB Stuttgart, Alexander Nübel (29) is set to leave the Bundesliga side, despite his instrumental role in guiding the team to back-to-back DFB Pokal finals and ensuring a return to Champions League football for the coming campaign. With Bayern Munich opting to extend Manuel Neuer’s contract, and promising increased opportunities for Jonas Urbig, Nübel’s prospects with Germany’s most successful club appear decisively limited.

Transfer Interest from Manchester City and Juventus

According to a report by Bild, Manchester City and Juventus are now vying for Nübel’s signature. The two clubs have reportedly initiated negotiations through the player’s agents. Nübel’s impressive record in the 2025/26 season, achieving 14 clean sheets in 49 outings for Stuttgart, has drawn significant attention from European elite.

Financial Considerations

The main hurdle for a transfer appears to centre around Nübel’s reported €11m annual salary, which could pose a substantial obstacle, particularly for Juventus after they failed to secure Champions League football. Bayern Munich have set an asking price between €10m and €15m for the Germany international.
