Who will keep Bayern Munich's goal in the second half of the season?
It will not be Alexander Nübel, as his advisor now explained.
Munich – FC Bayern Munich is still looking for a replacement for the injured Manuel Neuer.
So it's actually a good thing that with Alexander Nübel they signed a talented goalkeeper a long time ago.
The 26-year-old is currently on loan to Monaco - and will remain there until at least the end of the season, as reported by tz.de.
A winter return to Munich is now finally history.
"The transfer is off the table.
Alexander will play the second half of the season in Monaco," Nübel's adviser Stefan Backs told Sky
TV
on Monday.

Alexander Nübel stays in Monaco: FC Bayern needs another new replacement
The Bayern search for a goalkeeper for the rest of the season continues.
Coach Julian Nagelsmann definitely demands an alternative from his bosses.
The former U21 national goalkeeper Nübel, who is on loan to the French until the summer, was initially considered the preferred candidate for the Munich management.
But Monaco doesn't want to let their first-choice goalkeeper go.
Now Borussia Mönchengladbach's Yann Sommer should move even more into the focus of Bayern.
According to the Swiss tabloid Blick, both clubs have resumed talks about a possible change.
Sommer's contract with Borussia ends after this season.
Bayern would have to pay a transfer fee for the 34-year-old Swiss.

Nübel cancellation, summer question mark: FC Bayern will start the new year with Sven Ulreich
Whether Borussia will let their number 1 go in goal also depends on the search for a suitable successor.
The current favorite is the Swiss goalkeeper Jonas Omlin (29) from HSC Montpellier.
According to Sky
information, the Rhinelanders have already received "positive signals" from France.
The league leaders from Munich start the rest of the season on Friday with a tricky away game at RB Leipzig.
Neuer's previously very reliable deputy Sven Ulreich (34) should still be in goal there.
A long-term solution for the Bayern box also has a Swiss note: Apparently Dortmund's goalie Gregor Kobel should play a role in Munich's plans.
