On that, squire coach David Wagner committed himself, even though his goalkeeper had given a poor performance in the 0: 5 home debacle against RB Leipzig and had reacted poorly, especially when conceding the first goal.

“Alex, like many other players, played a bad game. But that's why I don't open a goalkeeper discussion as much as I did after the Bayern game in the Markus Schubert case, ”Wagner told SportBild and further:“ Alex knows that he has to train well and then take the chance to do it to do better in the next game. "

Substitute goalkeeper Schubert, who fully coached after his patella tendon complaints on Tuesday, had already represented regular regular goalkeeper Nübel in five Bundesliga games this season, but was often not saddled himself.

Matthäus criticizes Nübel's move to Bayern Munich

Update of February 21: The transfer of Schalke's goalkeeper jewel Alexander Nübel made waves during the Bundesliga winter break. Now the German record national player Lothar Matthäus spoke up in a conversation with the evening newspaper and criticized the decision of Noch-Schalke Nübel. It was precisely through the transfer of the Dortmund striker Erling Haaland that the expert put the bow to the Nübel transfer.

In contrast to Nübel, Haaland is supposed to be pursuing “a clever career plan”, with Matthäus seeing it differently. "I don't think Bavaria guaranteed him missions without talking to Manuel Neuer," said the 58-year-old. "And as I know Neuer , he won't be playing games," he added. For this reason, "the change could be harmful to Nübel's career."

Although Matthew did not have any advice for the young goalkeeper, he revealed what he would have done in the situation. "In Nübel's place, I would have extended at Schalke with the contractual option of being able to change every summer for a fixed sum ." The TV expert is certain: "Schalke would have been involved."

"Alex won so many games for us, then let him make mistakes." Like almost all Schalke players, the Schalke keeper gets a raven-black day in the top game against Leipzig. # S04RBL #SkyBuli # Nübel pic.twitter.com/J63J6n5jlM

Marcel Reif criticizes Nübel-Transfer: "No understanding for the change"

Update from February 17: Marcel Reif commented critically on the upcoming transfer from Alexander Nübel to Bayern Munich in a new soccer talk format. The reporter icon at Bild.de does not give a good hair to the sporting ambitions of the FC Schalke 04 still-keepers: “I have no understanding for the change. But I would like to have an indication of why that makes sense. That drives me crazy. "

Like most critics, Reif is convinced that Nübel will not get much time with the German record champions. The 70-year-old is certain, "Newer will not agree to any constructs". Also in the away game of the Gelsenkirchener in Mainz, the goalkeeper “had two or three things again. Normal for a 23 year old. "

When it comes to frost, Alexander Nübel's lack of time in Munich could be doomed. "You have to play, it can't get any better. A young player needs practice. ”In Munich, the young goalkeeper will fight for the FCB goal with nothing less than Manuel Neuer.

But even with his current employer, it is by no means certain that Nübel will be allowed in the goal until the end of the season.

FCB President Hainer: waiving Nübel "would have been negligent"

Update from February 9: Herbert Hainer , who was named FC Bayern president in November, recently gave an image interview on the most discussed transfer among Munich residents. FC Bayern must "prepare for the future," said Hainer on Alexander Nübel's commitment in summer 2020. "In addition, a little competition doesn't hurt. I don't think Manuel is afraid of competition. ”

Otherwise, the Bayern president had nothing but praise and good words for his current and future keeper. Hainer has a clear opinion on the transfer itself. “If we hadn't tried to get Alexander Nübel, it would have been negligent. He is one of the best young goalkeepers ever and he was free to transfer, ”Hainer justified to the picture.

Regarding Manuel Neuer's situation, the President said that he firmly assumed that he would remain. "He really likes Munich, he plays in a great team, we all really appreciate him," said Hainer, who confidently looks forward to a contract extension for the 33-year-old national goalkeeper: "Our sporting managers are working on it, I'm optimistic." Hainer recently commented on the future of the FCB veteran Thomas Müller, and the president also made a statement about Hansi Flick.

A world-famous trainer was a guest in the Allianz Arena. Wrapped up thick, he would have remained almost undetected, but in the end the TV cameras caught him. Alphonso Davies, who with his new market value passes many FCB stars, was also difficult to catch.

While Bayern Munich played against RB Leipzig, Bayern fans demanded Dorothee Bär's departure. The politician is a member of the administrative advisory board.

Bayern: Tönnies reacts to Nübel transfer - "Everything has been tried to keep him"

Update of January 6, 2020, 4:06 p.m .: The chairman of the FC Schalke 04 supervisory board, Clemens Tönnies, has renewed his criticism of the change from goalkeeper Alexander Nübel to FC Bayern Munich at the end of the season.

"I don't get it at all now that he goes and goes to Bayern. It's his decision, I wouldn't have supported it that way, ”said Tönnies on Monday in the Bundesliga club's training camp in Fuente Alamo, Spain. "Of course we are disappointed that he is leaving. But everything has been tried to keep him, "said the 63-year-old.

Tönnies believes that it will not be easy for the 23-year-old Nübel at Bayern. The competition with the ten-year-old goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is too big for that. "I have a close connection to Manuel and understand him when he says 'I am the regular goalkeeper and I want to stay that way'. He is in top shape and I believe in the shape of his life, ”said Tönnies.

Fix! Alexander Nübel changes from FC Schalke to FC Bayern

Update of January 4, 2020: Speculations about a change from Alexander Nübel to FC Bayern have ended! The record champion now reported the transfer as perfect. The message came to the training camp during the journey. The Schalke 04 goalkeeper will be free for the 2020/21 season and will receive a five-year contract.

FC The #FCBayern sign Alexander Nübel for the 2020/21 season.

For the former U21 national goalkeeper, the announced change has sporting consequences. In the second half of the season he will no longer lead S04 as captain on the field. "We agreed together that Alex would give up his captaincy," said Schalke coach David Wagner at the training camp in Fuente Alamo, Spain. "We put all the pros and cons on the table and decided that it would be best for the team if he left office because it would always lead to unrest"

The appearance of an ex-FCB star at the Celebrity Darts World Cup was accompanied by shameful calls. This went too far for many viewers.

First internal goalkeeper crash: new refuses to accept Nübel

Update from January 2, 2020: You haven't trained for a minute, let alone played. But before Alexander Nübel's move to Bayern is official, there is Manuel Neuer Krach between him and Bayern's number one. This is sparked by the question of Nübel's time in the coming season.

According to Sport Bild , there should have been a conversation between FCB sports director Hasan Salihamidzic and Manuel Neuer at the end of the round. It should be clarified how many games the national goalkeeper grants Nübel. As Sport Bild writes, Brazzo is said to have requested that Neuer give the 23-year-old 15 games. But the 33-year-old is said to have refused to give even one. Neuer, about whom there was speculation about a career end abroad, wanted to play the friendly games himself, it said.

In addition, an FCB star is now considering taking his hat - because of a new signing.

Nübel to Bavaria? Effenberg is critical of change - and gives FCB bosses a tip

Update from December 30, 2019: Stefan Effenberg is critical of the likely but not yet officially announced change from goalkeeper Alexander Nübel to FC Bayern. The former Bayern player does not believe that goalkeeper Manuel Neuer will voluntarily forego the season. Munich had "with Manuel Neuer already a goalkeeper in the best goalkeeper age," writes Effenberg in his column at t-online.de .

If Nübel doesn't get a move in Munich, there is only one solution for "Effe". “You (responsible for Bavaria, editor's note) have to borrow Nübel so that he can collect game practice elsewhere and ideally also play internationally. When he sits on the bench, his development stagnates. I can't imagine that this will happen. ”If the 23-year-old did not play in the coming season, Nübel“ definitely made the wrong decision with the move, ”said Effenberg.

Nübel to Bavaria? FCB goalkeeper legend: "Newer will not like it"

Update from December 24, 2019: Goalkeeper legend Sepp Maier has criticized a possible change from Alexander Nübel to Bayern . The 1974 world champion and longtime Munich goalkeeper said in the “Bild” newspaper (Tuesday edition) that he found Nübel's commitment not at all necessary. The goalkeeper will leave FC Schalke 04 at the end of the season and, according to the newspaper, will receive a five-year contract with Bayern , where he should initially be number two behind Neuer. So far, however, there is no confirmation.

Maier pointed out that, in his opinion, Neuer could still play for three to four years and that Bayern had enough good goalkeepers in their ranks. "The next trouble is programmed, I can not imagine that Manuel likes it," said the 75-year-old. The 95-time international added: “ Nübel is much too good for the substitute bank. He has to play and wants to play, not just waiting and training for three years. "

Other previous goalkeepers such as Bodo Illgner, Jens Lehmann and Roman Weidenfeller were also critical, but Toni Schumacher , who was also active in Munich, said: "When Bayern calls, you go to Bavaria." When the 23-year-old Nübel ended up opening a year should sit on the bench, it will not harm him.

AC hammer! Nübel probably to FC Bayern - What will become of Früchtl?

12.15 p.m .: The switch from Alexander Nübel to FC Bayern is apparently fixed. The top talent should probably learn from Manuel Neuer and later take over from him. How sensible is it to switch from Alexander Nübel to Bayern? Because Bayern already have a talented keeper in their own ranks. The 19-year-old youth keeper Christian Früchtl is number three behind Neuer and Ulreich and at the same time the goalkeeper of the second team in the third division. He recently extended his contract until 2022. Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic praised him at the time: “Christian is a real Bavarian and grew up here in the club. We are glad that we have it. It has continued to develop - we want to continue that together. ”

With a change from Nübe l to Bayern, Früchtl would have a much worse perspective. According to information from Sport Bild , however, he sees the transfer relaxed. Already after signing the contract, he said: “Next year I may be able to borrow. Just take a look. We have to discuss with Brazzo what is best for me and for Bayern . If I present myself well in the next few weeks, inquiries may come up. “According to his advisor Christian Rößner, there are already inquiries from the Premier League, among others.

After the second team's game against Würzburg on the weekend, Früchtel posted a picture on Instagram and wrote: “Outnumbered one point against Würzburg. THANKS for your support all year round, you are FIRST CLASS !!! Happy Holidays to all of you! ”One follower commented:“ You have to change, you don't deserve something like that, you're a blatant goalkeeper. ” Früchtl gave a heart to the comment.

Of course, the Nübel commitment also creates some question marks behind Manuel Neuer's future . With a goalkeeper talent like Alexander Nübel in the neck, a career end at Bayern is on the brink.

The career of FCB talent Adrian Fein steers in the other direction. The midfield engine will return to FC Bayern in summer after loan stations near Regensburg and Hamburger SV.

AC hammer! Nübel rejected the mega offer from S04 - everything for FC Bayern?

Update from December 23, 2019, 8.54: FC Schalke made it official on Sunday: goalkeeper top talent Alexander Nübel will leave the Royal Blues at the end of the season. Where it goes is not officially confirmed. Only the picture already writes him to Bayern .

In return , the Schalke statement, with which Nübels exit was announced, hardly leaves open the fact that SO4 is “not amused” about the exit. Sports director Jochen Schneider is quoted as saying: "After all the discussions we have had with Alexander Nübel and his advisor in the past few months, we are not very surprised at his decision and of course we respect it. However, we do not have to understand his decision ”.

And supervisory board chief Clemens Tönnies was less pleased with the picture: “We did everything to keep him on Schalke. Now we have to accept his decision - I don't get it. "

The paper also wants to know which mega-offer Nübel rejected. Schalke is said to have offered the goalkeeper a contract with an annual salary of more than five million euros until 2024 - the whole thing with an exit clause from 2021. And also the good performance of the team under David Wagner and the fact that Nübel has now been promoted to captain helped Nothing.

Nübel-Hammer: Schalke goalkeeper before moving to FC Bayern

Update from December 22nd: Now things are moving quickly. As the picture reports, the goal of Alexander Nübel is now clear : the goalkeeper is said to have actually agreed on a five-year contract with Bayern Munich ! That would be the absolute transfer hammer ! The contract should be valid from July 1, 2020 .

After the decision about the future of Hansi Flick, the Bayern apparently came to a decision in the Personnel Nübel. However, one question arises: how does the German record champions deal with national keeper Manuel Neuer ? Bavaria's number one is said to sign a new contract in the next few weeks (see report below).

According to the picture , the Bavarians are pursuing a concrete plan , according to which Nübel will come to Säbener Straße in summer 2020 and train from then on at the highest level. The 23-year-old should settle in with the Bayern and get to know the club first .

For Nübel, this still means: If Bayern extend with Neuer until 2023, the Noch-Schalke keeper will only be number two by then. The picture further reports that, in consultation with Neuer, Nübel should get regular operating times . If Neuer then hangs up his gloves at FCB in 2023, Nübel rises to the new number one .

Definitely a transfer for the future! Last summer, the #FCBayern and Alexander # Nübel were said to have largely agreed on a change. I'm excited to see what job sharing with Manuel #Neuer will look like. https://t.co/r0ccIWT4K3

Bang! Nübel's decision made - is everything going very quickly with Bayern?

Update from December 22nd: bang on Schalke! Goalkeeper jewel Alexander Nübel will not extend his contract with Schalke 04 , according to Sky-Infos. The sports editorial team of the Funke media group reported exclusively on Sunday morning, Sky Sport News HD also reports the information. Nübel's contract with the "miners" runs until summer 2020 . So far, the keeper has played 41 competitive games for Schalke. It is still unclear whether Nübel will leave the club before the end of his contract or whether he will continue to play for Royal Blue until summer 2020.

However, one thing is certain: FC Bayern has been said to be very interested in Nübel for some time, now the way seems to be clear for a change to Säbener Straße. However, it is unlikely that the 23-year-old will initially stand in the second row behind Manuel Neuer (contract until 2021).

In Gelsenkirchen, the response to the news was logically a little cold . "After all the discussions we had with Alexander Nübel and his advisor in the past few months, we are not very surprised at his decision and of course we respect it. However, we do not have to understand his decision, ”says sports director Jochen Schneider on the club's website.

"In the past few months, we have clearly shown Alex what actions he could have played in the future: to lead a team with many young players, which has already won a lot of sympathy in the first half of the season Schneider continues. "I am convinced that Alex will give everything for our club by the end of the season. From summer 2020, we will continue on our chosen path without it. "

Decision made: Alexander # Nübel leaves FC Schalke 04 at the end of the season.

Update from December 11, 2019, 12:29 pm: Alexander Nübel from Schalke 04 is undoubtedly one of the greatest goalkeeper talents in Germany. He is justifiably the crown prince of Manuel Neuer at FC Bayern . The record champion tried hard for the 23-year-old. But currently everything looks like there is no royal proclamation for the time being. There is simply too much against it. An overview:

After weeks of rumors and speculation, there were only two clubs left in the raffle: Nübels current club Schalke 04 and FC Bayern. Then the Munich-based company announced the extension with young goalkeeper Christian Früchtl until 2022, as * tz.de wrote. There is much to suggest that this gives the 19-year-old regular goalkeeper of Bayerns Reserve the chance to inherit newcomers.

Alexander Nübel: Manuel Neuer should extend at Bayern

Shortly afterwards, news circulated that Schalke wanted to increase their captain's salary - David Wagner had made him captain at the start of the season - tenfold to six million euros should Nübel choose the Gelsenkirchener. According to Sport Bild , the offer should be more lucrative than the offer from FC Bayern. Nübel also made it clear that the financial is not decisive for his decision. The proximity to his home in Paderborn is also important to him.

Finally, there is a rethink in the Bayern leadership. Personnel Nübel is said to have been initially postponed within the club because Neuer should receive a new contract. In its Wednesday edition, Sport Bild writes that the bosses continue to focus entirely on new players after their recent strong performances. The 33-year-old is expected to sign a new contract by 2023.

Nübel should continue to be regarded as the new successor, an obligation would only be considered in three and a half years. A lot can happen during this time. Maybe Tottenham Hotspur will snatch Bayern Nübel as successor for Hugo Lloris, new coach Jose Mourinho should be convinced of his qualities.

First announcement: Crazy salary increase required: Schalke is fighting with all means to transfer desired FCB

Gelsenkirchen - FC Schalke 04 continues to fight fiercely for its captain. In order to get 23-year-old Alexander Nübel to stay between the royal blue posts, Schalke are apparently ready to dig deep into their pockets. Accordingly, if Nübel extends his contract that runs until 2020, his current annual salary of 600,000 euros would increase tenfold .

Alexander Nübel: It is the next turn in transfer poker between S04 and FCB

It is the next turn in the already long transfer poker for Nübel. As Sport Bild wants to know, Schalke's offer is even financially more rewarding than FC Bayern's offer. After all, Nübel is a figure of identification for S04, which also made the fans hot, for example, with a picture of the goalkeeper for the last Bundesliga game before the international break (final score 3-2 against FC Augsburg).

Alexander Nübel: Proximity to home is more important than financial incentives?

But apparently the financial aspect is not the only criterion for Nübel. The proximity to his home in Paderborn is also important to him: “I'll be home in an hour. That's why I sometimes go home after training, for example if it's a friend's birthday or something is going on in the family, ”says Nübel. The journey from Munich would have been longer.

Schalke has declared the Nübel whereabouts to be the boss thing, Clemens Tönnies personally should take care of it. And coach David Wagner also said hopefully about the topic:

Bayern: have the bosses Nübel already written off?

FC Bayern has meanwhile extended the contract of goalkeeper Talent Chrstian Früchtl (19), as tz.de * reported. A sign that the bosses no longer really believe in Nübel's commitment?

FCB versus S04: The fan camps are also fighting for Nübel online

By the way: Nübel has not posted anything on its own verified Instagram channel since August 1 (as of November 20). Under his last post, which shows him with some Schalke teammates during the summer training camp, new comments are still gathering. "Stay with us. Extend the contract. Glück auf ”- the calls from the Schalke corner sound like this. "Come to Bayern" ("Come to Bayern"), the fans of the German record champion ask him.

FC Bayern and the former Schalke players: Neuer, Rafinha, Sané and Co.
