AS Monaco does not intend to let go of Alexander Nübel — foot11.com
Bayern Munich is in trouble. Straight after the 2022 World Cup, the Bavarian club faced an unexpected injury. German international goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was injured during… his skiing holiday. The goalkeeper broke his leg, and will therefore be unavailable until the end of the season. From now on, the Rekordmeister must urgently find a new goalkeeper, and is eyeing Alexander Nübel, on loan to AS Monaco. But the Principality club does not see things from the same angle.
“The decision belongs to Monaco”
Fr press conference, Alexander Nübel was asked about his future. And the german doorman made it clear that the Rock club had no intention of letting him go. “In reality, the decision is up to Monaco. They have the right to decide this winter, and they told me they were counting on me. I haven’t really had a conversation with Bayern. That’s the reason why I’m still here.”
At the same time, Philippe Clément also mentioned the situation of his goalkeeper. “Yes, I’m happy with Alex. But it’s always a three-part situation. It’s us, Monaco; it’s him, and that’s the appeal of other clubs. But I know and I see that he is very happy here, with the development he has. In matches, in training. He feels really good, but I don’t know what other possibilities he may have, especially at the end of the season”.
Without Nübel, who to replace Neuer?
Now the Bayern Munich seems back to the wall in this goalkeeper file. Indeed, the leaders of the Bavarian club have already suffered several failures in the winter transfer window, and will find themselves in the urgency of recruiting a new doorman. Dominik Livakovic, Yassine Bounou or even Keylor Navas have been mentioned. But none of these tracks has proven to be concrete for the moment.
In an interview with Bild, Oliver Kahn had also experienced the difficulty of replacing Manuel Neuer in the middle of the winter transfer window. “We are discussing different options, but replacing Manuel Neuer during the winter break is of course extremely difficult. Few clubs want to give up their number one during the season”. The two hot issues, namely Alexander Nübel and Yann Sommer, are deadlocked. And the days pass at breakneck speed.
