At AS Monaco, Alexander Nübel is now a top performer.

The Bayern bosses apparently have a special plan with the keeper, but this depends on Manuel Neuer.

Munich – At the beginning of February, FC Bayern* announced that captain Manuel Neuer would be missing in the coming weeks due to an operation.

On Saturday, the embarrassing 4-2 defeat at newly promoted VfL Bochum made it clear what influence the first-choice goalkeeper has on the game of the record champions.

His representative Sven Ulreich was often let down by his defense, but did little self-promotion.

So the goalkeeper question is back in focus for Munich, specifically it is about the future of Alexander Nübel*.

FC Bayern: Alexander Nübel regular keeper in Monaco – is he coming back to Munich in the summer?

The 25-year-old keeper continued to develop during his loan spell at AS Monaco.

He has not conceded a goal in four of the last five games under new coach Philippe Clement, who succeeded Niko Kovac, and has gained a lot of self-confidence.

Nübel is the regular goalkeeper for the current sixth in the table and has already played 32 games for the club from the principality in the current season.

In Munich he was only four times between the posts.

Last summer, Bayern loaned the dissatisfied Nübel for a planned two-year period, but left the option open to end his stay abroad after just one season.

The former U21 national goalkeeper could theoretically return to FC Bayern * in the summer.

How exactly the Paderborn native will continue is currently unclear.

FC Bayern: Alexander Nübel's future depends on the new extension

On the one hand, this is due to the contract talks with Manuel Neuer*.

The 35-year-old is still the undisputed number one at Bayern due to his standing in the team and his sporting achievements.

Negotiations are currently underway to extend the working paper. In the likely event of an agreement, Neuer would stay beyond the summer of 2023.

Should the national keeper extend, the decision about Nübel would be made at the same time, as reported by

.

Because the 25-year-old only wants to come back to Munich if he is guaranteed more appearances.

According to the report, the current Monaco keeper not only wants to play in the cup, but also demands games against higher-class opponents in the Champions League*.

FC Bayern: Neuer does not seem willing to compromise - Nübel extension in sight?

But this middle course does not seem to suit Neuer at all, and a goalkeeper duo consisting of Neuer and Nübel is probably no longer an option for the club officials either.

However, the series champion also needs a substitute.

Sven Ulreich's contract expires in the summer, and the 33-year-old is currently fighting for an extension at Bayern.

Despite Neuer's unwillingness to compromise, the Munich-based company would apparently be willing to extend the contract with Nübel, according to the report.

His contract with the record champions still runs until 2025, another loan from a Champions League club would probably be the best case for Bayern.

The ex-Schalke was able to recommend himself in Monaco recently and should also arouse desires in other clubs, Tottenham Hotspur * should show interest, for example.

The future of all three Bayern goalkeepers will be decided in the coming weeks.
